Abstract
A method and system for determining the presence or absence of a part of an assembly within at least one user-defined, 3-D detection region within a work cell are provided. The system includes a 3-D or depth sensor having a field of view at the work cell. The sensor has a set of radiation sensing elements which detect reflected, projected radiation to obtain 3-D sensor data. A processor processes the sensor data from the sensor to obtain a 3-D graphic of the at least one detection region. A display displays the 3-D graphic from a viewpoint to determine the presence or absence of the part within the detection region.
