Description

Rok Belšak and co-authors present a way to simulate laser line sensors in a 2024 paper. Such sensors scan surfaces to check size and quality in factories and labs. Testing them on real parts takes time and gear, so a good simulation can replace much trial work. Their method runs in MATLAB and works on digital models of parts.

The method traces rays against the model's triangles in a fast way that handles overlaps in assemblies. It also models the sensor's resolution so results look realistic. Against real scans, the simulated measures differed by less than half a millimeter on average. The tool handles holes and grooves well and can also make training data for AI systems.
