An Approach to Improve Online Hand-Eye Calibration
نویسندگان
چکیده
Online implementation of robotic hand-eye calibration consists in determining the relative pose between the robot gripper/end-effector and the sensors mounted on it, as the robot makes unplanned movement. With noisy measurements, inevitable in real applications, the calibration is sensitive to small rotations. Moreover, degenerate cases such as pure translations are of no effect in hand-eye calibration. This paper proposes an algorithm of motion selection for hand-eye calibration. Using this method, not only can we avoid the degenerate cases, but also the small rotations to decrease the calibration error. Thus, the procedure lends itself to an online implementation of hand-eye calibration, where degenerate cases and small rotations frequently occur in the sampled motions. Simulation and real experiments validate our method.

On-Line Hand-Eye Calibration
In this paper, we address the problem of hand-eye calibration of a robot mounted video camera. In a rst time, we derive a new linear formulation of the problem. This allows an algebraic analysis of the cases that usual approaches do not consider. In a second time, we extend this new formulation into an on-line hand-eye calibration method. This method allows to get rid of the calibration object ...
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 کاملData Selection for Hand-eye Calibration: A Vector Quantization Approach
This paper presents new vector quantization based methods for selecting well-suited data for hand-eye calibration from a given sequence of hand and eye movements. Data selection can improve the accuracy of classic handeye calibration, and make it possible in the first place in situations where the standard approach of manually selecting positions is inconvenient or even impossible, especially w...
متن کاملHand-Eye Calibration Using Active Vision
The project described in this paper designed and implemented a hand-eye calibration method for manipulators under observation by stereo cameras. This method has been utilized on Johnson Space Center's Robonaut, and on a planetary manipulator mock-up at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The intent of this calibration is to improve the manipulator's hand-eye coordination. The approach uses kinematic...
متن کاملA New Approach to Hand-Eye Calibration
Traditionally, hand-eye calibration has been done using point correspondences, reducing the problem to a matrix equation. This approach requires reliably detected and tracked points between images taken from fairly widespread locations. In this paper we present a completely new approach to performing hand-eye calibration. The novelty of the proposed method lies in the fact that instead of point...
