COLLINEATION ESTIMATION FROM TWO UNMATCHED VIEWS OF AN UNKNOWN PLANAR CONTOUR FOR VISUAL SERVOING.

1999

In this paper we describe a method to compute the collineation matrix between two unmatched images of an unknown planar contour described using a B-spline snake. The two images of the contour are matched and the collineation matrix is used to servo a camera mounted on the robot end-effector using a 2 1/2 D visual servoing technique. The experimental results, obtained using common planar objects, show that our method give very good results and allow the robot end-effector to be positioned with a great precision.

If you have difficulty viewing files that end '.gz', which are gzip compressed, then you may be able to find tools to uncompress them at the gzip web site.

If you have difficulty viewing files that are in PostScript, (ending '.ps' or '.ps.gz'), then you may be able to find tools to view them at the gsview web site.

We have attempted to provide automatically generated PDF copies of documents for which only PostScript versions have previously been available. These are clearly marked in the database - due to the nature of the automatic conversion process, they are likely to be badly aliased when viewed at default resolution on screen by acroread.
