Hand-Eye Calibration without Hand Orientation Measurement Using Minimal Solution

چکیده
In this paper we solve the problem of estimating the relative pose between a robot’s gripper and a camera mounted rigidly on the gripper in situations where the rotation of the gripper w.r.t. the robot global coordinate system is not known. It is a variation of the so called hand-eye calibration problem. We formulate it as a problem of seven equations in seven unknowns and solve it using the Gröbner basis method for solving systems of polynomial equations. This enables us to calibrate from the minimal number of two relative movements and to provide the first exact algebraic solution to the problem. Further, we describe a method for selecting the geometrically correct solution among the algebraically correct ones computed by the solver. In contrast to the previous iterative methods, our solution works without any initial estimate and has no problems with error accumulation. Finally, by evaluating our algorithm on both synthetic and real scene data we demonstrate that it is fast, noise resistant, and numerically stable.

متن کاملHand–eye calibration using a target registration error model
Surgical cameras are prevalent in modern operating theatres and are often used as a surrogate for direct vision. Visualisation techniques (e.g. image fusion) made possible by tracking the camera require accurate hand-eye calibration between the camera and the tracking system. The authors introduce the concept of 'guided hand-eye calibration', where calibration measurements are facilitated by a ...

متن کاملHand-Eye Calibration Using Dual Quaternions
To relate measurements made by a sensor mounted on a mechanical link to the robot’s coordinate frame, we must first estimate the transformation between these two frames. Many algorithms have been proposed for this so-called hand-eye calibration, but they do not treat the relative position and orientation in a unified way. In this paper, we introduce the use of dual quaternions, which are the al...
متن کاملCalibration-Free Hand-Eye Calibration: A Structure-from-Motion Approach
The paper presents an extended hand-eye calibration approach that, in contrast to the standard method, does not require a calibration pattern for determining camera position and orientation. Instead, a structure-from-motion algorithm is applied for obtaining the eye-data that is necessary for computing the unknown hand-eye transformation. Different ways of extending the standard algorithm are p...
