The aim of this project is to design, implement and charaterise a vision system for the 3D reconstruction of objects rotating with respect to their axis by means of the Silhouette method. The system has been developed using LabView Real-Time 8.6.1 (National Instruments, NI).

 The hardware of the system is composed by the NI Embedded Vision System (EVS), the  Basler Scout scA1390-17gm/gc Gigabit Ethernet camera, and a telecentric lighting system combined with a telecentric optics (Optoengineering, Italy). The software tools dedicated to image acquisition and elaboration have been developed by using the NI-IMAQ vision libraies. The vision system is called  ‘OPTOSILHO‘.
