Optimal stereo mast configuration for mobile robots

چکیده
Planning the placement of stereo cameras on a mobile robot is often a balancing act between the quality of stereo data, the reliability of stereo matching, and ensuring that the cameras see enough of the robot’s environment for navigation. In this paper, we present a nonlinear programming formulation to determine the optimal parameters for two stereo pairs of cameras and a camera mast for a mobile robot. We have applied this method to the design of a stereo camera mast for Nomad, a prototype rover currently under construction at Carnegie Mellon University, and present the results of designing that mast.

متن کاملDynamic mutual calibration and view planning for cooperative mobile robots with panoramic virtual stereo vision
This paper presents a panoramic virtual stereo vision approach to the problem of detecting and localizing multiple moving objects (e.g., humans) in an indoor scene. Two panoramic cameras, residing on different mobile platforms, compose a virtual stereo sensor with a flexible baseline. A novel ‘‘mutual calibration’’ algorithm is proposed, where panoramic cameras on two cooperative moving platfor...
متن کاملOptimal Trajectory Planning of a Box Transporter Mobile Robot
This paper aims to discuss the requirements of safe and smooth trajectory planning of transporter mobile robots to perform non-prehensile object manipulation task. In non-prehensile approach, the robot and the object must keep their grasp-less contact during manipulation task. To this end, dynamic grasp concept is employed for a box manipulation task and corresponding conditions are obtained an...
