Abstract
Disclosed are various systems and features for use with a machine, such as a sewing machine, to facilitate multi-patch multi-view systems that may reduce errors associated with material thickness, object height, perspective. Such systems and features may be useful in the context of performing an action along a self-guided path on a substrate.
Claims18
A system for performing action along a predetermined path, the system comprising:
- a guiding apparatus;
- an operational object disposed in at least a portion of an operational area,
- wherein the operational object is disposed on a substrate, and wherein the system is configured to perform a multi-view process comprising:
- capturing, by a vision system, a first set of images comprising one or more images of the operational object,
- performing a repositioning operation, and
- capturing, by the vision system, a second set of images comprising one or more images of the operational object,
- wherein the first set of images is captured at a lower image resolution than the second set of images;
- a multi-patch multi-view system comprising:
- the vision system;
- and
- a repositioning system configured to performing the repositioning operation, the repositioning operation comprising repositioning at least one of:
- the vision system, the operational object, and the operational area, such that the operational object and the vision system are in different positions with respect to each other.
9 more elements
A computer implemented method for performing operations on an operational object, the method comprising:
- determining, by a vision system of a guiding apparatus, first visual features of one or more operational objects disposed on a substrate in an operational area of the guiding apparatus;
- performing a repositioning operation comprising repositioning at least one of the following:
- the vision system, the one or more operational objects, and the operational area, such that the one or more operational objects and the vision system are in different locations with respect to each other;
- determining, by the vision system, second visual features of the one or more operational objects, such that the first visual features are a lower image resolution than the second visual features;
- and
- generating patch configuration information based at least on one of the following:
- the first visual features and the second visual features, the patch configuration information comprising instructions for performing an action along a predetermined path for at least one of the one or more operational objects.
4 more elements
A guiding apparatus comprising:
- an operational area;
- and
- a multi-patch multi-view system comprising:
- a vision system;
- and
- a repositioning system configured to perform a repositioning operation, with respect to the vision system, at least one of the operational area and an operational object situated in the operational area,
- wherein the operational object is disposed on a substrate, and wherein the vision system is configured to perform a multi-view process comprising:
- capturing, by the vision system, a first set of images comprising one or more images of the operational object,
- performing the repositioning operation, and
- capturing, by the vision system, a second set of images comprising one or more images of the operational object,
- wherein the first set of images is captured at a lower image resolution than the second set of images.
