ABSTRACT

22486829_1 (GHMatters) P123820.AU.1 A method includes emitting a laser
including a plurality of laser points onto a surface of a conveyor belt,
capturing a plurality of first images of the surface of the conveyor belt
during a first cycle of the conveyor belt, creating a first three-dimensional
image of the surface of the conveyor belt during the first cycle, each of a
plurality of locations of the surface of the conveyor belt in the first
three-dimensional image being assigned first position data, capturing a
plurality of second images of the surface of the conveyor belt during a second
cycle of the conveyor belt; creating a second three-dimensional image of the
surface during the second cycle, each of the plurality of locations of the
surface in the second three-dimensional image being assigned second position
data; and determining whether a difference between the first and second
position data exceeds a predetermined threshold.
