Matrox Design Assistant Tools

3D acquisition and analysis

Depth-map visualization

Matrox Design Assistant X provides an interface to a range of 3D sensors. These include Matrox AltiZ 3D profile sensors, as well as third-party 3D sensors like Automation Technologies C5-CS series; LMI Gocator® series; Photoneo® PhoXi® series; Wenglor weCat3D and ShapeDrive series; SmartRay Ecco series; Lucid Helios Time of Flight (ToF) camera; and Zivid One+ 3D camera through their SDK or the interface standard they support. Contact Matrox Imaging for interfaces to other third-party 3D sensors.

Depth-map gap filling

Matrox Design Assistant X is able to inspect the depth map produced by these 3D sensors using the image analysis and processing steps. Depth maps can be re-aligned using a reference surface to remove prospective distortion using the AlignPlane step. Profiles can be extracted from a point cloud or a depth map using the ExtractProfile step and then individually analysed using the Metrology step. Matrox Design Assistant X also provides additional functionality to fill gaps in a depth map, remapping a depth map for optimal use including visualization, and presenting the depth data in the world units given by the 3D sensor.
