Automated calibrated photographic capture system that digitizes every slab of marble or granite along the production line, correcting perspective, true color, and real dimensions.
IDStone Capture is the pioneering computer vision solution for the natural stone industry. Installed over an inspection station or conveyor line following polishing or cutting, it shoots a true-to-life overhead image, removes lens distortion, clips the precise slab contour, and calculates the net usable square surface in millimeters. The photo is automatically linked to the slab barcode for quality grading and B2B online sales.
Key Features
- ✓ Ultra-high resolution photography (24 to 60 Megapixels) with uniform calibrated strobes/LEDs.
- ✓ Automatic colorimetric calibration and geometric perspective correction (orthorectification).
- ✓ Automated irregular contour edge detection and net area computation in millimeters.
- ✓ Instant generation of fast web-optimized thumbnails and high-res master zoom files.
- ✓ Direct barcode association via IDStone Reader optical recognition or manual scanner.
- ✓ Automatic triggering via photoelectric sensors or operator foot switch.
Operational Benefits
- • Instant digital slab gallery without ever needing to re-handle heavy stone pieces.
- • True-to-life color and vein accuracy for online sales to discerning architects and builders.
- • Millimeter-exact measurement preventing surface giveaways and customer disputes.
