Abstract:
A machine vision system comprises a camera configured to generate one or more images of a field of regard of the camera, a lidar system, and a processor. The lidar system includes a laser configured to emit light, where the emitted light is directed toward a region within the field of regard of the camera and a receiver configured to detect light returned from the emitted light. The processor is configured to receive an indication of a location based on the returned light and determine whether a solid object is present at the location based on the one or more images.

Claim (Index 38):
A machine vision system comprising:\n a camera configured to generate one or more images of a field of regard (FOR) of the camera; a lidar system including:\n a laser configured to emit light, wherein the lidar system directs the emitted light toward a region within the FOR of the camera, and \n a receiver configured to detect light returned from the emitted light; and \n a processor configured to:\n receive an indication of a location based on the returned light, \n determine whether a solid object is present at the location based on the one or more images by detecting an absence of targets along a path of the emitted light within a certain range of the lidar system, using the one or more images; \n detect an object in a path of the emitted light, at a distance greater than a maximum range of the lidar system, using the one or more images, and \n discard the indication of the location in response to detecting the absence of targets within the certain range and detecting the object at a distance greater than the maximum range.
