Abstract
Stereoscopic technical vision system was developed to measure spatial coordinates of butt-welded joints. The system can be used for automatic directing of the welding tool to a joint in welding using robotic systems.
Keywords: welding production, automation, welding object, stereoscopic measurement, spatial coordinates, robotic com¬plex, epipolar lines, conjugated points
