The rc_reason SilhouetteMatch Module detects position and orientation of comparatively flat objects that are positioned on a plane, by matching the scene at hand to a previously taught template.

  • Detection of shallow objects, calculation of their 3D pose

  • Teaching of new objects provided as a service

  • Automatic and flexible detection of the base plane

  • Works with static and robot-mounted sensors

  • On-board data processing possible with any rc_visard: No external hardware required

The rc_reason SilhouetteMatch Module is an optional software component that can be easily activated on-board any rc_visard or rc_cube and operated through the standard interface. It enables the rc_visard to detect comparatively flat objects lying on a planar surface in unmixed scenes. For each object, the 3D position and orientation is determined.

The rc_reason SilhouetteMatch requires a template of the objects that are to be detected. The user can easily create new templates by uploading a .dxf-file to the WebGUI.

rc_reason SilhouetteMatch automatically detects the base-plane of the scene at hand, which is then stored on the rc_visard in order to be occluded during the sensing operation. Typical applications include machine tending or emptying load carriers of several layers of objects.
