Abstract
A simple and flexible self-calibration method is proposed for an active stereovision platform. It calibrates the parameters implicitly including the intrinsic and extrinsic ones of the visual system with a series of relative positions formed by translational motions of a selected point on the end-effector of a manipulator. A new visual measurement model based on the calibrated parameters is presented to obtain the relative position of an object with a rectangle mark. Then a position-based visual control system with end-effector closed loop is employed for vision guided approaching with the manipulator. Experiments are provided to validate the proposed self-calibration and measurement methods.
