This video we'll compare our normal 3D mode versus our high-speed modes on the Helios2+ 3D Time-of-Flight Camera. High-Speed modes can reach a maximum 110 FPS, more than 3x faster than normal FPS. High-Speed mode allows for fast moving objects to be 3D imaged without distortion/blurring of the point cloud.

At a cheese factory in the Netherlands, 12 self-driving forklifters have the task to stack and de-stack cheese boxes in a fully automated process. The autonomous forklifters provided by Toyota Material Handling move racks of cheese 24/7 between production and ripening halls. These racks are roughly 3 meters high and can be stacked up to 3 levels. Before placing one rack on top of another, the exact position where to place it, needs to be determined. Florinco, a developer of smart software solutions, has developed vision algorithms to extract certain features from the images to come up with more reliable measurements. The Helios ToF cameras were connected to an industrial PC with an Intel Atom processor, running Linux. This PC was connected to the forklifter’s internal network to communicate the measurement results to the central processor of the forklifter.

For challenging objects that are more difficult to 3D image using Time of Flight (ToF) technology, such as dark and low reflective objects, the Helios2 allows users to increase image accumulation. This allows the Helios2 camera to "stack" multiple depth frames together and average out the results. While this will reduce the frame rate, it will improve the resulting point cloud data. Here is an example using a common black plastic pallet (48x40in) used in warehouses, split between a concrete and metal floor. Distance from Helios2 to pallet is 1.75m.

A real-time stream example from the Helios2 3D Time of Flight camera. Showcasing a variety of materials and shapes - plastic markers, Bosch metal parts, black chairs, laminate table, carpet, and cardboard boxes. Helios2 native resolution is 640x480px running at 30 fps. Video is upscaled to 4K. Very little filtering was done, only confidence threshold was set to 500. Image accumulation and flying pixel filter were both disabled.
