Abstract

Handling of micro-objects less than 1 mm is essential in the fields of biotechnology and micro-machine production. These operations are difficult because they requires manual operations using microscopic images. The productivity of the operations is not high. To solve these problems, a 3D software camera system has been introduced. The system consists of two subsystems; those are the 3D entire shape model with texture extraction system and the stereo image generation system from the model. Here, the structure of the total system and the vision system for 3D model extraction are described
