Case Study: Smart Camera Helps Robot Paint Military Vehicles
|
From Matrox Imaging
To camouflage an object is to hide it, conceal it so that it blends in with the surrounding environment. For the military, it's a tactical necessity and can make the difference between a platoon's success or failure, a soldier's life or death. It's no wonder that the military takes camouflage very seriously. Especially for vehicles. Over thirty years ago, the US military established policies and procedures for camouflaging military vehicles: all sizes and shapes of trucks and accompanying trailers, vans, tanks, forklifts, weapons systems, watercraft transporters, even fire trucks and water purification units. The colors of a soldier's uniform is chosen according to the theatre of deployment, and the same rule applies for a vehicle's paint. The U. S. Marine Corps Depot Operations are responsible for the three R's of military vehicles: repair, refurbish, rebuild. Products & Services
