Abstract
Disclosed are various systems and features for use with a machine, such as a sewing machine, to facilitate 3-dimensional vision systems that may enable operations on non-flat objects and paths. Such systems and features may be useful in the context of performing an action along a self-guided path on a substrate.
Claims13
A system for 3-dimensional vision-assisted sewing operations, the system comprising:
- a guiding apparatus configured to perform actions along one or more predetermined paths;
- a 3-dimensional vision system wherein the 3-dimensional vision system is configured to direct the guiding apparatus to avoid performing an operation on a non-processable feature of an operational object based on at least the 3-dimensional vision system detecting the non-processable feature;
- and
- an operational area.
1 more element
A computer implemented method for utilizing a guiding apparatus having a 3-dimensional vision system, the method comprising:
- capturing, by the 3-dimensional vision system, a plurality of images of a substrate in an operational area of the guiding apparatus under a range of illumination and image capture parameters wherein the 3-dimensional vision system is configured to direct the guiding apparatus to avoid performing an operation on a non-processable feature of an operational object based on at least the 3-dimensional vision system detecting the non-processable feature;
- capturing, by the 3-dimensional vision system, 3-dimensional features of the substrate;
- and
- determining, by the 3-dimensional vision system, visual feature information of a substrate, based at least on the plurality of images and 3-dimensional features.
1 more element
A guiding apparatus comprising:
- a 3-dimensional vision system wherein the 3-dimensional vision system is configured to direct the guiding apparatus to avoid performing an operation on a non-processable feature of an operational object based on at least the 3-dimensional vision system detecting the non-processable feature;
- and
- an operational area;
- wherein the guiding apparatus is configured to perform actions along one or more predetermined paths.
