Moment feature-based three-dimensional tracking using two high-speed vision systems

摘要

When considering real-world applications of robot control with visual servoing, both three-dimensional (3-D) information and a high feedback rate are required. We have developed a 3-D target-tracking system with a 1-ms feedback rate using two high-speed vision systems called Column Parallel Vision (CPV) systems. To obtain 3-D information, such as position, orientation and shape parameters of the target object, a feature-based algorithm has been introduced using moment feature values extracted from vision systems for a spheroidal object model. Also, we propose a new 3-D self-windowing method to extract the target in 3-D space using epipolar geometry, which is an extension of the conventional self-windowing method in 2-D images.
