At least some embodiments described herein are directed to a machine vision method, which involves capturing both a two-dimensional (2D) image of an object to identify a barcode and determine 3D features, and a three-dimensional (3D) image of the environment. The 3D image data is examined for the presence of the 3D object features. If a feature is missing, a digital fault detection signal is provided. If a feature is present, at least one parameter of the machine vision system is adjusted. The method also includes decoding the barcode and determining the object's orientation based on the barcode location in the 2D image.
A scanning station comprising:
The scanning station of claim 7, wherein the 3D imaging apparatus is one of the tower portion and the platter portion and the 2D imaging apparatus is in the other of the tower portion and the platter portion.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
