Abstract

We describe a monocular 'eye in hand' approach to acquire 3-D information of a scene in a robotic environment. By tracking points through an image sequence taken from a moving camera, the correspondence and occlusion problem is solved. The problem of dynamically selecting points in real time is addressed. A method for defining a qualitative measure of the 'trackability' of points is introduced. To efficiently use the available multitarget tracking hardware a scheme of prediction and workload balancing is shown. To overcome the inaccurate knowledge of the exterior orientation of the camera (which is mounted on a robot) control points are placed in the scene and, by means of resection, the exact exterior orientation is determined. Positional information is extracted from the 3-D data enabling the robot to grab the object it monitored.
