Abstract

NIST is leading and supporting multiple efforts to develop standards for 3D imaging systems for manufacturing automation applications. Many manufacturers specify the performance of their sensors in non-standard ways and offer no method to verify those parameters independently. These efforts are being developed under the auspices of ASTM and are related to a) standardizing the performance of 3D imaging systems, b) bin picking systems and c) guide for selection of 3D imaging systems. This work presents the status of these four work items.
