Help with Cognex DS925

1

Hello everyone,
I’m new here and haven’t dealt with OpenCV too much yet. Briefly about my topic:
I have a DS925 sensor (laser triangulation sensor) here from Cognex. This has a GigE interface.
I would like to use it as a 3D scanner and measure a few heights, but nobody at Cognex is currently willing to help me. Now the idea was to create my own software. I know it sounds relatively ambitious to do this project if you never dealt with openCV before.

So my question is… has anyone ever worked with the sensor and OpenCV?

Thank you in advance.
Regards Fabian

looks to me like a “GigE Vision” camera, with a laser stripe built in. if it has any logic of its own, I don’t see it in the hardware manual.

so, speak to it as a GigE Vision camera. there are libraries other than OpenCV for this. opencv might support this, by using another library, if you compile your own build. I haven’t done any of that so far.

once you have images/a video feed, you can analyze the picture.
