Dynamic structured light (DSL) is used in this computer-based 3-D surface measurement system.

Machine vision is used by Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) to investigate the discipline itself and to solve problems in other disciplines, such as the automotive, medical device, and pharmaceutical industries and in manufacturing.

  • 3-D imaging and surface inspection

  • Thermal imaging

  • Infrared image interpretation

  • Sensor fusion

  • Neural networks

  • Fuzzy logic
