White Paper 3D Vision: Comparing 3 technologies (pros, cons, applications)

This white paper will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the three main 3D vision technologies: 3D time-of-flight, stereo, and active stereo. Readers will get a basic technical understanding of these 3D technologies, their characteristics, and application examples. 3D snapshot cameras offer rich information to enable industrial automation tasks. From goods dimensioning to pick-and-place operations, this technology is the backbone of a wide range of applications.
