Collaborative calibration: extending shape from motion calibration
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we summarize recent research results from a new technique of sensor calibration called Shape from Motion Calibration. We first present the basic technique, which is an eigenspace analysis, and show that it includes the rigor of least squares without the full burden of measuring all the applied inputs. Next we present new research that removes another constraint of the calibration technique and extends the robustness to cover systems with slight nonlin-earities.

Extending shape-from-motion to noncentral onmidirectional cameras
Algorithms for shape-from-motion simultaneously estimate camera motion and scene structure. When extended to omnidirectional cameras, shape-from-motion algorithms are likely to provide robust motion estimates, in particular, because of the camera’s wide field of view. In this paper, we describe both batch and online shape-from-motion algorithms for omnidirectional cameras, and a precise calibra...
متن کاملIncluding Sensor Bias in Shape from Motion Calibration and Multisensor Fusion
Shape from Motion data fusion brings a greater degree of autonomy and sensor integration to intelligent systems in which fusion by constant linear transformations is appropriate. To illustrate this, we apply Shape from Motion techniques to applications involving both similar and disparate sensory information vectors. First, nearly autonomous force/torque sensor calibration is demonstrated throu...
متن کاملOmnidirectional Shape-from-Motion for Autonomous Navigation
Algorithms for shape-from-motion simultaneously estimate camera motion and scene structure. When extended to omnidirectional cameras, shape-from-motion algorithms are likely to provide robust motion estimates, in particular, because of the camera’s wide field of view and lack of degenerate motions. In this paper, we present two shapefrom-motion algorithms and a precise calibration technique for...
متن کاملCalibration-Free Hand-Eye Calibration: A Structure-from-Motion Approach
The paper presents an extended hand-eye calibration approach that, in contrast to the standard method, does not require a calibration pattern for determining camera position and orientation. Instead, a structure-from-motion algorithm is applied for obtaining the eye-data that is necessary for computing the unknown hand-eye transformation. Different ways of extending the standard algorithm are p...
متن کاملThe Shape from Motion Approach to Rapid and Precise Force/Torque Sensor Calibration
ABSTRACT We present a new technique for multi-axis force/torque sensor calibration called shape from motion. The novel aspect of this technique is that it does not require explicit knowledge of the redundant applied load vectors, yet it retains the noise rejection of a highly redundant data set and the rigor of least squares. The result is a much faster, slightly more accurate calibration proce...
