Robust camera pose and scene structure analysis for service robotics
نویسندگان
چکیده
Successful path planning and object manipulation in service robotics applications rely both on a good estimation of the robot’s position and orientation (pose) in the environment, as well as on a reliable understanding of the visualized scene. In this paper a robust real-time camera pose and scene structure estimation system is proposed. Firstly, the pose of the camera is estimated through the analysis of so-called tracks. The tracks include key features from the imaged scene and geometric constraints which are used to solve the pose estimation problem. Secondly, based on the calculated pose of the camera, i.e. robot, the scene is analyzed via a robust depth segmentation and object classification approach. In order to reliably segment the objects depth, a feedback control technique at image processing level has been used with the purpose of improving the robustness of the robotic vision system with respect to external influences, such as cluttered scenes and variable illumination conditions. The control strategy detailed in this paper is based on the traditional open-loop mathematical model of the depth estimation process. In order to control a robotic system, the obtained visual information is classified into objects of interest and obstacles. The proposed scene analysis architecture is evaluated through experimental results within a robotic collision avoidance system.
