Abstract

In laser drilling, an assist gas is often used to remove material from the drilling point. In order to design assist gas nozzles to minimize spatter formation, measurements of spatter trajectories are required. We apply computer vision methods to measure the 3D trajectories of spatter particles in a laser cutting event using a stereo camera configuration. We also propose a novel method for calibration of a weak perspective camera that is effective in our application. The proposed method is evaluated with both computer-generated video and video taken from actual laser drilling events. The method performs well on different workpiece materials.
