Abstract
We describe a location and pose estimation of a robotic head based on three dimensional coordinate of three point markers. Computation for the location and pose estimation is carried out at 30 fps, which is a frame rate of camera, and with low latency by using FPGA. In experiments for accuracy evaluation, an error in pose estimation was less than 3 degrees. This can be used for a pose estimation of humanoid head by combining complementary other methods such as one with inertial sensors.
