3-D vision systems for micro-operation and its application

Handling of micro-objects about 0.1 mm square is essential in the fields of bio-technology and micro-machine production. These operations have some difficulty because it requires the unnatural hands manipulations under the microscopic images. So the productivity of those operations is not high. To solve these problems, a 3-D software camera system has been introduced. The system consists of two subsystems those are the 3-D entire shape model with texture extraction system and the stereo image generation system. Here, the method of 3-D model extraction system using mufti-directional camera and its calibration system are introduced, then the system has been introduced to the bio-production system. In the paper, the experimental attempt to the real problem is described
