3-D Visualization System for Geometric Parts Using a Laser Profile Sensor and an Industrial Robot

This paper presents a framework that can be used for the visualization of solid objects by using a laser profile sensor and industrial robot arm. Many industrial applications like automated inspection, geometric reverse engineering, autonomous planning and object recognition require 3D points captured from the surface of objects. This research proposes a framework that leads to the successful visualization of geometric objects by using an industrial robot and a laser profile sensor. Real applications are performed for a sample part and the results are discussed.
