The texture information is obtained in the form of point cloud data produced from a structured light sensor. The algorithm is split into two stages: haptic data extraction, and mapping. The extraction is done by calculating the acceleration based on both the position and the velocity of the fingertip of the user relative to the texture. The acceleration data is then run in open-loop-control and mapped to an LRA actuator.enhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Point cloudTexture InformationTranscodingEngineeringTranscoding texture information acquired contactless to tactile signals in the context of a remote touchless inspection systemConference Paper not in Proceedings10.15480/882.851410.15480/882.8514Conference Paper
