3D camera modules¶
The rc_cube’s 3D camera software consists of the following modules:
- Camera (
rc_camera) - acquires image pairs and performs planar rectification for using the camera as a measurement device. Images are provided both for further internal processing by other modules and for external use as GenICam image streams.
- Camera (
- Stereo matching (
rc_stereomatching) - uses the rectified stereo image pairs of the connected stereo camera, e.g. the rc_visard, to compute 3D depth information such as disparity, error, and confidence images. These are provided as GenICam streams, too.
- Stereo matching (
- Blaze (
rc_blaze) - provides 3D depth information such as disparity, error, and confidence images of the connected Basler blaze RGB-D camera. These are provided as GenICam streams, too.
- Blaze (
These modules are pipeline specific, which means that they run inside each camera pipeline. Changes to their settings or parameters only affect the corresponding pipeline and have no influence on the other camera pipelines running on the rc_cube.
Note
The Stereo Matching module is only available in camera pipelines of type rc_visard or rc_viscore.
The Blaze module is only available in camera pipelines of type blaze.
The Camera and the Stereo matching modules, which acquire image pairs and compute 3D depth information such as disparity, error, and confidence images, are also accessible via the rc_cube’s GigE Vision/GenICam interface.
