Overview

Aiming at the shortcomings of the existing machine vision pose measurement technology, a pose measurement method based on monocular vision and a cooperative target is proposed. A planar target designed with circles and rings as the main body is dedicated to object pose measurement, and a feature point coordinate extraction and sorting algorithm is designed for this target to effectively extract image features on the target. The RANSAC algorithm and topology-based fitting for the intersection method are used to optimise data processing, further improving the accuracy of feature point coordinate extraction and ultimately achieving high-precision measurement of object poses. The experimental results show that the measurement accuracy of the roll angle perpendicular to the optical axis can reach 0.02°, and the repeatability can reach 0.0004° after removing the systematic error; the measurement accuracy of the pitch angle can reach 0.03°, and the repeatability can go to 0.002° after removing the systematic error. The measurement range of the pitch angle is [−30°, +30°]; the measurement range of the roll angle is [−179°, +179°]. The experimental results show that the system has high measurement accuracy and meets the requirements of high-precision measurement.
