A High-Accuracy 2D Visual Marker for Dexterous Manipulation Robot in Space

This paper describes developmental results of a new high-accuracy 2D visual marker for space application. It shows the results of experiments to evaluate the space environmental tolerance of the previous visual marker. It also shows the new redesigned marker based on the experimental results in conjunction with evaluation results of pose and position estimation by image processing. This new marker has the equivalent performance of pose and position estimation to the previous visual marker. This accurate, planar and space environmental tolerant visual marker will contribute to various space missions which require highly accurate position and pose estimation such as dexterous manipulation in space.
