3-D vision sensor using relative stereo method and its application

Vision systems for robots had been widely applied at many important applications. But 3-D vision systems for industrial uses should face to many practical problems. Here, a vision system for bio-production has been introduced. Crone seedlings are one of the important applications of biotechnology. Most of the production processes of crone seedlings are highly automated, but the transplanting process of the small seedlings cannot be automated because the figures of small seedlings are not stable and to handle the seedlings it is required to observe the shapes of the small seedlings. In this research, a vision system for robot to be used for the transplanting process in a plant factory has been introduced.
