Visual Servoing from Spheres with Paracatadioptric Cameras
نویسندگان
چکیده
A paracatadioptric camera consists of the coupling of a parabolic mirror with a telecentric lens which realizes an orthographic projection to the image sensor. This type of camera provides large field of view images and has therefore potential applications for mobile and aerial robots. This paper is concerned with visual servoing using paracatadioptric cameras. A new optimal combination of visual features is proposed for visual servoing from spheres. Using this combination, a classical control law is proved to be globally stable even in the presence of modeling error. Experimental and simulation results validate the proposed theoretical results.

Omnidirectional Vision-Based Formation Control∗
We consider the problem of distributed leader-follower formation control for nonholonomic mobile robots equipped with paracatadioptric cameras. Our approach is to translate the formation control problem from the configuration space into a separate visual servoing task for each follower. First, we present an algorithm for infinitesimal multi-body motion segmentation from multiple paracatadioptri...
متن کاملParacatadioptric Geometry using Conformal Geometric Algebra
Computer vision provides non-contact measurements of the world, extending the robot ability to operate in circumstances and environments which can not be accurately controlled. The use of visual observations to control the motions of robots has been extensively studied, this approach is referred in literature as visual servoing. Conventional cameras suffer from a limited field of view. One effe...
متن کاملA Robust Uncalibrated Visual Compass Algorithm from Paracatadioptric Line Images
Due to their wide panoramic field of view, paracatadioptric cameras are becoming ubiquitous in many robotic applications. A challenging problem consists in using these vision sensors as a visual compass, that is to exploit the image data solely to provide an estimate of their rotational motion when mounted on a mobile/humanoid robot. Existing visual compass algorithms are difficult to implement...

This paper presents simulation and experimental results of position-based visual servoing control process of a 6R robot using 2 fixed cameras. This method has the ability to deal with real time changes in the relative position of the target-object with respect to robot. Also, greater accuracy and independency of servo control structure from the target pose coordinates are the additional advanta...
متن کاملVisual Torch Position Control Using Fuzzy-Servoing Controller for Arc Welding Process
In this paper, we propose a fuzzy-servoing controller method for automatic welding. The proposed method uses a vision based arc tracking to find the initial points of the weld seam and to track them without a prior knowledge. Due to a serious melt down in the weld pool during the welding process, the method requires to control the welding torch in two directions, up-down and left-right directio...
