Position estimation using stereo camera images and ODE simulation for robot control

Abstract

For autonomous control of the robot, it is necessary to decide motions and recognize the scene. In this paper, we report the image processing algorithm for robot control using the stereo vision system. The three-dimensional position can be estimated by the stereo camera using to USB cameras. This system measures the distance, detects the object, and calculating the center of gravity. We will try to control the robot based on the coordinates obtained by image processing. This paper shows some results using real image processing system that we developed.
