Computer Vision Assisted Virtual Reality Calibration Won S. Kim Summarized by Geb Thomas
Models and Supervisory Control • An accurate model would allow supervisory control • Video feedback used to make model accurate • Eliminate difficulties from the time delays • A natural application area is for orbital replacement units in the international space station
The ORU Problem • End effector close-up camera is obstructed • Manual teleoperation is difficult • Alignment requirements on the order of +-1/4 inch and 3 degrees for rotation • 2-8 second round trip delay for near orbit
A Solution • Use lines in the image to calibrate the cameras and model to the observations • Use the model on the ground to program the remote robots • Or upload the model and let the crew telemanipulate from the model
The Challenges • 3D model-based recognition with global searches takes too long • Need operator interaction to limit searches • point-click for coarse positioning • graphic model control for fine tuning • Past methods have separated model and camera calibration. This approach combines them
The Line Detector • Lines are easier and more reliable than points. • Uses Gennery’s weighted average local line detector
The Sobel Detector K=1, for Prewitt K=2 for Sobel
Find the line Segment Y’ (1-x’/L)h1 + (x’/L)h2 = y’ h2 h1 X’
