lightfieldLAB - Light field laboratory system for the rapid generation of 3D point clouds
The importance of lightfieldLAB
3D reconstruction of components is a complex process that involves various technical challenges. One of the biggest difficulties is the accuracy of the reconstruction, which is influenced by factors such as camera calibration, object movement and environmental conditions. The complexity of the component geometry also poses a challenge. Objects with fine structures, overhangs or concealed areas can be difficult to capture as certain areas are not directly visible to the camera or sensor. This requires the use of multiple perspectives or special algorithms to reconstruct hidden areas. Last but not least, data processing plays a decisive role. The creation of high-resolution point clouds generates large amounts of data that need to be processed and analyzed efficiently. Powerful software solutions are required to clean the data, reduce noise and generate a precise 3D representation. lightfieldLAB offers a unique combination of innovative hardware and highly specialized software to overcome these challenges

Important technical features
High-resolution camera
The system is equipped with a 61 megapixel camera from SVS-Vistek, which delivers exceptional image quality and detail. This high-resolution camera enables an impressive measurement accuracy, which is essential for demanding measurement tasks.
Flexible optical setuplightfieldLAB has a flexible optical setup that enables adaptation to different image fields and resolutions. The optical imaging scale and thus the measuring accuracy can be adapted using attachment lenses. The highest measuring accuracy is achieved with attachment lenses with an image field of 40 x 60 mm, whereby the minimum working distance is 70 mm. Larger fields of view and working distances can be realized with other attachment lenses. The ability to adjust the focus on the lens is an invaluable advantage for perfect imaging, especially at close range. The lens can be focused from 400 mm to infinity, so that any distance is possible if required, albeit with reduced accuracy.
Customizable illuminationFor optimum results in different scenarios, lightfieldLAB offers customizable lighting. This function makes it possible to flexibly adapt the lighting to the specific requirements of the respective measurement task.
Compact designDespite its powerful components, the system is characterized by its compact dimensions of 42 x 15 x 18 cm (without stand). This handy and space-saving design enables flexible use in various laboratory and production environments.
Intuitive softwarelightfieldLAB is complemented by a user-friendly software, which provides an intuitive interface for precise measurements. The software has an integrated 3D application that can be used to create depth maps and visualize point clouds.
High-precision calibrationIn addition, the software enables comprehensive calibration and adjustment of relevant parameters for depth calculation to ensure the highest measurement accuracy.
Stitching of PointcloudsPoint clouds from different images can be combined to meet high precision requirements and large dimensions of the component to be examined. This point cloud stitching enables the complete capture of large components as well as the joint examination of areas that can only be viewed from very different perspectives.
Integration options / expansion options
Data conversion for seamless integration
The ability to convert the captured 3D data into various data formats enables seamless integration into existing workflows. This facilitates further processing of the data in CAD software, simulation programs or other applications. Conversion into industry-specific formats ensures compatibility with various software solutions.
Multiview AI analysis for automated inspectionThe integration of Multiview AI analysis enables the automated detection of defects, the marking of structures and the classification of objects. This reduces manual effort and improves the efficiency of inspection processes. This includes, for example, the automatic detection of cracks, scratches or other surface defects as well as the automatic marking of predefined structures or components.
Automatic setting of measuring points for precise analysesThe function for automatically setting measuring points on the 3D models enables precise measurements and analyses without manual effort. This speeds up the measurement process and minimizes the risk of errors.
Color-coded highlighting for visual inspectionColor-coded highlighting of problem areas or deviations on the 3D models enables quick visual inspection. This makes it easier to identify defects and deviations.
