OEM Finland Oy leverages Matrox Design Assistant X software to build customized reference application for 3D vision

The past few years have seen growing demand for 3D imaging capabilities in the machine vision industry. Largely tied to increased use and applications within automation, 3D has matured from cool sci-fi trick to full-fledged reconstruction technique that captures the shape and appearance of real objects in three dimensions.
New technology offers tremendous utility, provided customers are equipped to use the tools available to them. “One of the major challenges that prevent many customers—especially smaller or less software-development-focused customers—from using 3D technology is the lack of easy-to-use integrated development environments (IDEs) for programming imaging software,” says Kimmo Jansson, who oversees technical support for machine vision at OEM Finland Oy. “With the launch of Matrox Design Assistant X and its support for third-party 3D sensors and depth-maps, we immediately saw great potential in enabling more companies to utilize 3D imaging technology.”
