TAGGED WITH laser scanners
Conventional photoelectric sensors used for object detection and distance measurement can struggle with dark, glossy, or irregular targets because they rely on light intensity. Time-of-flight laser sensors overcome these challenges by using distance-based sensing instead.

Matroid's deep-learning system comprising of 3D-CNN helps to automatically detect Glaucoma from a single raw Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) scan. The results are close to human doctors across heterogeneous datasets and scanning environments.
Beginners might be surprised to find that their 3D scans turn out not as solid 3D models, but as clusters of spatial data points. So what exactly is a point cloud, and what can you do with it?
Flatness is a measure of a surface’s form that indicates whether all of the points along that surface lie in the same plane. Symbolized in Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing by a parallelogram, flatness is particularly useful when two surfaces must be assembled together to form a tight seal.
