Abstract

A method for identifying objects by shape in close proximity to other objects of different shapes obtains point cloud information of multiple objects. The objects are arranged in at least two trays and the trays are stacked. A depth image of the objects is obtained according to the point cloud information, and the depth image of the objects is separated and layered to obtain a layer information of all the objects. An object identification system also disclosed. Three-dimensional machine vision is utilized in identifying the objects, improving the accuracy of object identification, and enabling the mechanical arm to accurately grasp the required object.
