Development of an Active High-Speed 3-D Vision System

摘要

High-speed recognition of the shape of a target object is indispensable for robots to perform various kinds of dexterous tasks in real time. In this paper, we propose a high-speed 3-D sensing system with active target-tracking. The system consists of a high-speed camera head and a high-speed projector, which are mounted on a two-axis active vision system. By measuring a projected coded pattern, 3-D measurement at a rate of 500 fps was achieved. The measurement range was increased as a result of the active tracking, and the shape of the target was accurately observed even when it moved quickly. In addition, to obtain the position and orientation of the target, 500 fps real-time model matching was achieved.
