Reporters obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors: “There are many occasions where it is beneficial to capture a three-dimensional representation of objects or a scene by optical means, such as by using a camera. Captured scene geometry can be used by a machine vision syst em to direct a robot arm to grab objects in a pick-and-place operation, providin g improved performance of a robotic system compared to one without the vision sy stem. A captured three-dimensional scene can be used by a mobile robot to naviga te through its environment. The three-dimensional data captured by a flying vehi cle, such as a drone, can be used in its own light as a digital representation o f a portion of the real-world, such as for mapping or inspection purposes.
