QBOID 3D COMPUTER VISION TECHNOLOGY

3D image sensors, built into the M2 hardware platform, stream real-time color 3D point cloud data to QBOID’s novel computer vision software which provides the human operator with a unique augmented reality style ‘markup’ of items in the video preview, identifying items that can be immediately dimensioned, thereby reducing the dimensioning task cycle time and reducing operator cognitive load and fatigue. QBOID’s computer vision software is highly optimized C++ proprietary code for fast data acquisition, processing, 3D reconstruction, and visualization.

The M2’s computer vision software processes the 3D point cloud to discriminate the item, parcel or package from the work surface, then the M2 automatically and instantly determines the correct LxWxH dimensions that would generate the smallest possible box to contain that item. This algorithm is especially helpful in finding the proper LxWxH of irregular objects where a human operator would have difficulty establishing what are the proper points by which to measure a highly irregular shaped item’s LxWxH.
