10 ways 3D imaging technology is being deployed today

3D imaging is a technology that can be accomplished through various methods, and can be used for disparate applications, ranging from quality and process control in factory automation to agricultural imaging and research and development.

In this slideshow on 3D imaging—which is one of the four topics covered in our Next Generation Vision Systems special focus—we look at 10 recent applications of 3D imaging technology, ranging from a system that uses a 3D image processing system for web inspection to a 3D robotic vision system that measures plant characteristics.
