Abstract

There has been much interests on three-dimensional pose estimation of an object since there are a lot of robotic applications such as intelligent robotic assembly and/or vision-guided control of a humanoid or human-friendly robot. In this paper, there are proposed a simple and fast stereo matching algorithm for real-time robotic applications and an improved scheme for feature matching using three-dimensional information by adopting back-projection as a feedback element measuring the degree of feature matching. The degree of feature matching is determined by checking existence ratio of each feature point in real images after back-projecting an object model into image plane. The proposed pose determination algorithm is applied for a humanoid robot in KIST, whose name is CENTAUR, successfully and determine the pose of several polyhedral objects using 3-D information of vertexes on the outline of an object in image plane.
