Adjustment of the Distance of Objects to the Microsoft Kinect Device Fitted with Nyko Zoom Attachment Used in a Three-axis Manipulator

This paper presents a method for processing the data obtained from Microsoft Kinect device fitted with Nyko Zoom attachment. This system is used to obtain the dimensions of items placed in the workspace of prototype glue spraying machine. The presented data acquisition method allows to describe the shape of the surface and accurately determine the item position. The paper deals with processing of information on the registered object changed by the used attachment. The lens allowed to increase the angle of view of the Kinect device while reducing the minimum working distance. Included in the working method of correction is the solution to the problem presented to the constant exposure of the background. The described solution is used as a subsystem for the identification of seats and can be used in designing a subsystem to calculate the trajectory of the spraying head.
