Coregistration of Pose Measurement Devices Using Nonlinear Least Squares Parameter Estimation
نویسنده
چکیده
Multimodal visual haptic user interfaces can be made more effective by accurately colocating the workspaces of their components. We have developed a coregistration technique for pose measurement devices based on nonlinear least squares parameter estimation. A reduced quaternion parameterization is used for representing the orientation component of coordinate transformations, which avoids the numerical instability of traditional approaches. The method is illustrated with two examples: the colocation of a haptic device with a position tracker, and the coregistration of an optical and a magnetic tracking system.

متن کاملNonlinear least squares optimisation of unit quaternion functions for pose estimation from corresponding features
Pose estimation from an arbitrary number of 2-D to 3D feature correspondences is often done by minimising a nonlinear criterion function using one of the minimal representations for the orientation. However, there are many advantages in using unit quaternions to represent the orientation. Unfortunately, a straightforward formulation of the pose estimation problem based on quaternions results in...

We formulate two estimation problems for pipeline systems in which measurements of compressible gas flow through a network of pipes is affected by time-varying injections, withdrawals, and compression. We consider a state estimation problem that is then extended to a joint state and parameter estimation problem that can be used for data assimilation. In both formulations, the flow dynamics are ...

In this paper a novel hybrid algorithm for harmonics estimation in power systems is proposed. The estimation of the harmonic components is a nonlinear problem due to the nonlinearity of phase of sinusoids in distorted waveforms. Most researchers implemented nonlinear methods to extract the harmonic parameters. However, nonlinear methods for amplitude estimation increase time of convergence. Hen...
