Our World is 3D! And yours? In the early days of Machine Vision 2D sensors delivered 2D images of 3D objects to inspect their shape and surface. The loss of one dimension naturally limited the capabilities of this traditional approach. When structured light, e.g. a laser line, is projected on an object, however, the resulting deformation of the light structure indicates precisely the three-dimensional profile, which can be reconstructed even from a 2D image. Our passion for this innovative technology set the stage for the foundation of AQSense in 2006. It is our mission to provide manufacturers and system integrators with the most advanced 3D imaging algorithms in combination with application consulting. Globally renowned OEMs benefit from new levels of automation, effectiveness and quality in manufacturing, thanks to our software products and consultancy services. This drives us to continuously enhance our capabilities.
