Application: Systems and methods for stitching sequential images of an object (Patent ID: US20240177382A1)
The patent filed by Cognex Corp describes a system that includes a transport device for moving objects with a substantially planar surface in a known plane around a viewing area. The system also includes a 2D digital optical sensor to capture sequential images of the object's surface as it moves, and a controller that stitches these images together using an algorithm to generate a single stitched image. This technology allows for the creation of a complete image of the object's surface even when it is occluded during movement.
Claim 1 of the patent outlines the components of the system, including the transport device, digital optical sensor, and controller. It specifies the steps performed by the controller, which involve receiving sequential digital images and stitching them together to create a comprehensive image of the object's surface. This claim highlights the innovative method of capturing and processing images to overcome occlusion challenges and generate a complete visual representation of the object's planar surface as it moves around the viewing area.
