Abstract
Systems and methods utilize one or more 3D cameras (e.g., ToF cameras) in industrial safety applications. The 3D camera generates a depth map that may be used by external hardware and software to classify objects in a workcell and generate control signals for machinery. To facilitate sensor-specific calibration and coordination among sensors in a workcell, the sensors may store calibration data in a boot file that is loaded upon start-up. During initialization, the calibration data is loaded and, as the sensor operates, corrections are made to sensed data (e.g., pixel depth values) using the calibration data.
