i3D robotics

i3D robotics is a Research & Development-based SME that develops 3D stereo vision technology to be used in machine vision applications. Our experienced team members come from a wide range of academic and commercial backgrounds including machine vision, space, optics and photonics. As well as providing off-the-shelf 3D imaging products, we are able to design bespoke inspection systems for many applications. We specialise in: * Stereo vision systems * Flexible 3D vision systems for autonomous and robotic applications * Systems for high temperature and harsh industrial environments Our 3D stereo vision algorithms have been developed by our academic partners for the Mars Rover missions. These algorithms use semi-global matching (SGM), an algorithm which is considered as one of the leading dense stereo matchers. Benefits include fast processing speeds, parallelisation, robustness and accuracy making SGM the preferred choice in a wide range of practical applications such as robotics, navigation and industrial processes. 3D imaging has the potential to address a wide range of societal challenges, such as reducing waste and improving safety in a range of industries and environments including manufacturing, biotech, nuclear, smart agriculture, infrastructure and tunnels.
