Effective Calibration and Evaluation of Multi-Camera Robotic Head
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper deals with appropriate calibration of multispectral vision systems and evaluation of the calibration and data-fusion quality in real-world indoor and outdoor conditions. Checkerboard calibration pattern developed by our team for multispectral calibration of intrinsic and extrinsic parameters is described in detail. The circular object for multispectral fusion evaluation is described as well. The objects were used by our team for calibration and evaluation of advanced visual system of Orpheus-X3 robot that is taken as a demonstrator, but their use is much wider, and authors suggest to use them as testbed for visual measurement systems of mobile robots. To make the calibration easy and straightforward, the authors developed MultiSensCalib program in Matlab, containing all the described techniques. The software is provided as publicly available, including source code and testing images. Keywords—calibration; camera; mobile robot; thermal imaging; data-fusion

A flexible seam detection technique for robotic laser welding
This thesis deals with the problem of seam detection for robotic laser welding applications. Within the Mechanical Automation laboratory of the Engineering Technology faculty, a compact, lightweight and multi-purpose welding head is developed. The integrated welding head is attached to a robot and should be able to detect seams, learn trajectories, do the laser welding and inspect the welds. A ...
متن کاملLaFiDa - A Laserscanner Multi-Fisheye Camera Dataset
In this article, the Laserscanner Multi-Fisheye Camera Dataset (LaFiDa) for applying benchmarks is presented. A head-mounted multi-fisheye camera system combined with a mobile laserscanner was utilized to capture the benchmark datasets. Besides this, accurate six degrees of freedom (6 DoF) ground truth poses were obtained from a motion capture system with a sampling rate of 360 Hz. Multiple seq...
