What is FindSurface SDK?
FindSurface is the geometric abstract-based algorithm/SDK which estimates a shape’s proportions based on a defined and recognizable industrial shape such as Plane, Sphere, Cylinder, Cone, Torus, and Box, directly from the point-cloud. It is a pure mathematical solution; therefore, it can be run as a standalone system.
-
Does the SDK recognize irregular forms? What kind of objects do you recognize with FindSurface SDK?
No. Currently Findsurface SDK recognizes generic industrial topologies such as plane, sphere, cylinder, cone and torus shaped geometry. For a special request, box recognition shall be provided.
-
What are typical applications of FindSurface SDK?
Any applications which deals with point-cloud data. Some examples are Reverse Engineering, Logistics Applications, AR, MR. VR, Games, Robot Automation (ROS), and many more.
-
What would be the output formats?
Provide each object with its feature parameters (such as center, diameters, etc.) and 3D orientation information. The locational/positional formats can be in ASCII as X, Y, Z, Rx, Ry, Rz.
-
Does Findsurface SDK recognize “free-form” natural objects?
No. FindSurface only deal with industrial topologies.
-
How long does it take to recognize an object with FindSurface SDK?
Pretty much instantaneous(Typically, less than 100ms), however its performance depended on computer specification, surrounding environmental condition (light, color, texture, and etc.), type of connections (USBs, Ethernet, or others) and selection of 3D imaging devices.
-
Which development platforms do you support in FindSurface SDK?
FindSurface SDK supports C/C++. If you would like to use the SDK with Java, C# or other languages, please, contact us.
-
How many objects can I simultaneously recognize and track?
Depended on the licensing option. Standard setting is one object at a time.
-
Can I recognize large objects, such as building blocks or containers?
Yes, as long as user defines a correct GAZING window.
-
Is the FindSurface SDK available for Android and iOS devices?
The FindSurface SDK does not support Android or iOS devices at this time.
-
What are system requirements? What device does the FindSurface SDK support?
Getting Started / Signing Up
-
What’s the price for FindSurface SDK?
We provide several options to fit customer’s needs. We offer a free trial version for 14-days, and as a paid subscription, FindSurface STANDARD, PROFESSIONAL, BOX, and CUSTOM versions are available. Please, contact us for a specific pricing information.
-
What are licensing plans for FindSurface SDK? Do you offer a free trial before committing to a paid plans?
Yes, use can try a free “FindSurface Trial” Version for 14 days upon the registration. After 14 trial days, FindSurface will deactivate itself, and you will receive the subscription information from us.
-
Are there any academic discounts for students?
We don't have a formal policy for this yet but we'd love to hear about your project! Please let us know about it.
