Gocator® 3D smart sensors now support optical character recognition (OCR) and barcode reading

摘要

LMI Technologies (LMI), a leader in 3D scanning and inspection, is pleased to announce that Gocator® 3D smart sensors now support "Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and Barcode Reading. These essential machine vision capabilities can be applied to a broad range of inspection applications where decoding characters or symbols is required. The Surface OCR tool recognizes and extracts a string of text from surfaces, using either 3D height map scan data or 2D intensity scan data. Surface OCR adds a valuable capability for inspection applications that decode flat or embossed characters and symbols in markets such as automotive (stamped parts), battery and packaging (track and trace), and rubber & tire sidewall (DOT-codes).
