Welcome to the industry’s first calculator for 3D robotic vision – the 3D Made Easy Calculator. This calculator allows you to quickly determine what camera type and work cell positioning is necessary to solve your robot vision application. Use of the calculator will save hours of computation time and give you a easy way to compare different approaches to the solution. Simply input key information to define the workcell matrix and the calculator will output the required camera resolution and positioning for success.
The tool is perfect for vision, application, and system integration engineers working with industrial vision applications that may require true stereopsis (3D) solutions. The output visually describes where to place pairs of cameras for the best accuracy given the input parameters, as well as defines the 3D accuracy expected given specific camera resolution and focal length.
The calculator is limited to off-the-shelf hardware (sufficient for most applications). Contact Universal Robotics for custom solutions.

NOTE: THE FIRST TIME YOU ENTER DATA IN THE CALCULATOR, MAKE THE OBJECT SIZE THE LARGEST POSSIBLE, AND THE VISION WORK ENVELOPE THE SMALLEST. WHEN YOU FIRST START THE RATIO BETWEEN THE OBJECT AND VISION ENVELOPE SHOULD BE LESS THAN 1:4. AS YOU GAIN EXPERIENCE, YOU CAN INCREASE THE WORK ENVELOPE SIZE OR DECREASE THE OBJECT SIZE.
IF YOU GET “#N/A”, THE CALCULATOR WORKS. YOU HAVE CHOSEN VARIABLES THAT DON’T RESULT IN A COMMON SOLUTION. REREAD THE ABOVE, OR DOWNLOAD THE USER GUIDE AND TRY AGAIN!
