Visual servoing by means of structured light for plane-to-plane positioning

چکیده
In this paper we face the problem of positioning a camera attached to the endeffector of a robotic manipulator so that it gets parallel to a planar object. Such problem, so-called plane-to-plane positioning, has been treated for a long time in visual servoing. Our approach is based on linking to the camera a structured light emitter composed of four parallel laser pointers so that its distribution is aimed to produce a suitable set of visual features. The aim of using structured lighting is not only for easing the image processing and allowing low-textured objects to be treated, but also for producing a control scheme with nice properties like decoupling, stability and good camera trajectory. This paper proposes several sets of visual features and analyzes their performance and robustness against different types of calibration errors both analytically and experimentally. Key-words: Visual servoing, structured light, plane-to-plane positioning, stability analysis, decoupled visual features, laser pointers

Autonomous 3-D positioning of surgical instruments in robotized laparoscopic surgery using visual servoing
This paper presents a robotic vision system that automatically retrieves and positions surgical instruments during robotized laparoscopic surgical operations. The instrument is mounted on the end-effector of a surgical robot which is controlled by visual servoing. The goal of the automated task is to safely bring the instrument at a desired three-dimensional location from an unknown or hidden p...
متن کاملVisual servoing based on dynamic vision
This paper deals with the way to achieve positioning tasks by visual servoing in the case of planar and motionless objects whose shape is unknown. In fact, we consider here complex objects like those one can encount in the agrifood industry. A 3D reconstruction phase is first considered yielding to the parameters of the plane. This computation is based on the measurement of the 2D velocity in a...
متن کاملPositioning a camera parallel to a plane using dynamic visual servoing
Visual servoing is generally based upon geometrical features. Recent developments were made in the way of a generalization of this approach to dynamic features. The idea is that velocity in the image can be measured without the constraint of having an a priori knowledge of the scene. In this paper, a control law to position a camera mounted on the end eeector of a robot, in such a way the image...
متن کاملVisual servoing of an autonomous helicopter in urban areas using feature tracking
We present the design and implementation of a vision-based feature tracking system for an autonomous helicopter. Visual sensing is used for estimating the position and velocity of features in the image plane (urban features like windows) in order to generate velocity references for the flight control. These visual-based references are then combined with GPS-positioning references to navigate to...
