Visual Reconstruction and Optimization of Real Workplace on the Base of Spatial Digitisation

Abstract

This article provides perspective into creation of virtual 3D model of existing robotic workcell to optimize productive process and save space. Separate parts of the paper describe the process of creation of the environment with the usage of an alternative scanning device, namely Kinect in combination with various software applications. This alternative offers scans of environment and components surfaces that are from the viewpoint of precision and quality comparable with much more expensive devices but based only on open source elements.
