Design files

Overview

The Factory Automation reference design employs the Texas Instruments DLP® Advanced Light Control Software Development Kit (SDK) for LightCrafter™ series controllers, which allows developers to easily construct 3D point clouds by integrating TI’s digital micromirror device (DMD) technology with cameras, sensors, motors or other peripherals. With more than 2 million micromirrors, the high resolution systems utilizes the DLP® LightCrafter™ 6500 evaluation module (EVM), featuring the DLP6500 1080p DMD, and enables flexible control of accurate patterns for structured light solutions in industrial applications.

Features
  • 3D scanner solution utilizing the DLP6500 chipset to enable fast and programmable patterns
  • Supports synchronized camera capture for both global and rolling shutter cameras
  • Projector and camera calibration routine
  • Structured light algorithms for disparity map, depth map and point cloud generation
  • Implements both Gray code and hybrid three phase scanning techniques
