In this keynote, Dr. Daniel Lau will deliver a clear, practical comparison of the major 3D imaging technologies used in industrial machine vision. He will examine structured‑light systems, time‑of‑flight cameras, stereo vision, and laser triangulation—outlining how each method captures 3D data and the implications for accuracy, speed, surface coverage, and environmental robustness.

For each technology, he’ll break down core operating principles, critical performance parameters, typical use cases in automation and inspection, and key integration factors such as calibration, lighting, processing demands, and mechanical constraints.

Attendees will gain a grounded understanding of the strengths and limitations of each approach to help them confidently evaluate, specify, and deploy the right 3D vision solution for their application requirements.
