The automatic handling of flexible belt objects is crucial for high speed and high precision of operation process. The measurement of belt object's position and orientation is important for the implementation of automatic manipulation. In this paper, the method to measure the flexible cable-end's position and orientation based on stereo vision is proposed. First, the method to calculate the cable-end's three-dimensional (3D) position based on image processing is explained. Next, the cable-end's orientation calculation method is described by referring the unit vectors attached to cable-end. Finally, the experiments were carried out to show the precision and accuracy of the proposed method. The results verified that the cable-end's position and orientation are measured precisely using the proposed method.
