Abstract

This paper describes some of the first analytic work performed on data collected by an autonomous 3D machine vision system. The system, which is described in detail elsewhere and briefly described here, uses fast, dedicated hardware to generate a visible surface mapping directly into a memory array that can be accessed from a host computer. The techniques described here have shown some success in the separation of individual surfaces in multi- surface objects and a range of results are presented.
