1.3 Symbols Used
This document contains symbols for the identification of warning messages and of informative
messages.
Warning Messages
You will find warning messages, whenever dangers may arise from your actions. t is mandatory
that you observe these warning messages for your personal safety and in order to avoid prop-
erty damage.
Depending on the risk level, the warning messages are displayed in descending order as fol-
lows:
Informative Symbols
Action
This symbol indicates a paragraph with instructions. You are prompted to perform an action or
a sequence of actions.
Danger!
This symbol indicates an imminent danger.
Non-observance will result in personal injury or death.
Warning!
This symbol indicates a possible fault or danger.
Non-observance may cause personal injury or serious property damage.
aution!
This symbol indicates a possible fault.
Non-observance could interrupt the device and any connected systems and plants, or result in
their complete failure.
Note
This symbol brings important information to your attention.

2 Product Specifications
2.1 Use and Application
This manual describes the "SmartRunner Explorer 3-D" 3-D stereo sensor (referred to as the
sensor below). The sensor combines two 2-D images taken from different positions and finds
matches between the acquired images to create a depth image.
A bright projector, which sits between the two cameras, projects a structured light onto the
object to be imaged. The auxiliary structures of the structured light enable a higher number of
pixels and their changes in position to be detected on the surface of the object so that com-
plete, homogeneous depth information of the scene can be generated from it.
How It Works
Figure 2.1 A sketch of how it works
The two single cameras, which are offset, take pictures of the same situation at the same time.
n both images, the corresponding distance to a point is measured. The disparity, or offset,
between the two images is calculated. The disparity (d), the focal length (f), and the base
length (b) are used to create a depth in the image based on the geometric principle of triangula-
tion. These measurements are transferred as raw data to a PC, which produces the depth
image of the captured scene.
1st step: Two images taken from different positions.
2nd step: Matches found between the two images.
3rd step: Depth image created.

Product Specifications
The sensor is connected to a PC via a Gigabit Ethernet network. The sensor sends the mea-
surement results to the computer, which is running a custom application that retrieves the mea-
surement results and processes the data contained in them.
2.2 GenI am
The SmartRunner Explorer 3-D sensors are Gen Cam-compatible devices.
Gen Cam (generic interface for cameras) is a common programming interface for different
types of cameras.
Gen Cam simplifies configuration when connecting proprietary cameras. n industrial vision,
when connecting a camera, the respective camera type and its parameters must be config-
ured. Gen Cam makes this configuration easier. The camera communicates its configuration
data to the computer. During operation, the computer asks the camera whether a particular
function is supported.
Gen Cam provides the user with a graphical user interface that displays the features of different
digital cameras in the same way, regardless of the manufacturer and camera type. This applies
both to the designation, which is standardized by the SFNC (Standard Feature Naming Con-
vention), and to certain camera-specific functions.
