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.
Claims20
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;
- a patch library system;
- and
- an operational area.
2 more elements
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;
- capturing, by the 3-dimensional vision system, 3-dimensional features of the substrate;
- 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;
- and
- saving the visual feature information to a patch library system.
2 more elements
A guiding apparatus comprising:
- a 3-dimensional vision system;
- a patch library;
- and
- an operational area,
- wherein the guiding apparatus is configured to perform actions along one or more predetermined paths.
