Precise Object Localization in 3D Space

3D Matching

MVTec software detects objects and determines their 3D position – even with just one camera or depth sensor. This technology is primarily used in 3D alignment to determine the 3D position (location, position, and orientation) of an object using standard 2D images or 3D depth images. This is particularly useful in fields such as automotive manufacturing & robotics, pick-and-place applications, or “bin picking.”

Deep 3D Matching

Deep 3D Matching combines deep learning algorithms with rule-based methods, enabling exceptionally fast and robust object detection based on 2D images.

Since the method requires minimal parameterization, it is ideal for industrial scenarios, even under challenging conditions such as varying backgrounds, different materials, or partial occlusions.

Typical Applications

Bin picking in metal processing and intralogistics.

Robot-based quality inspection in the automotive industry.

Object detection with CAD models in highly varied production environments.

Flexible robot guidance through camera-based position detection.

Training is based on synthetically generated image data (synthetic data), automatically created from existing CAD models. This saves time and costs, as manual labeling is not required.

Shape- & Surface-Based 3D Matching

MVTec software offers both methods, that complement each other and are optimized for different scenarios:

Shape-Based 3D Matching
Uses multiple 2D views of a known object represented by a CAD model. The 3D position is determined based on the object's shape.

Surface-Based 3D Matching
Combines point clouds with range images and reliably detects objects – even on smooth or featureless surfaces.

Both methods allow fine adjustment of the object’s position and are frequently used in quality inspection, robotics, and automated assembly processes.

Generic Box Finder

The Generic Box Finder detects boxes of varying sizes within a defined space – without the need for prior model training.
This technology is particularly suitable for logistics and pharmaceutical applications where packages of variable sizes are processed.

Other use cases include measuring geometric properties or locating defects on complex 3D objects after 3D alignment.

3D Object Localization

3D matching enables precise localization of objects in space. The position and orientation (6D pose) are calculated accurately.

This data can be directly used in robotics applications, such as controlling a robotic gripper or for automated quality inspection.
