AbstractPurpose -The purpose of this paper is to propose a method that calibrates the hand-eye relationship for eye-to-hand configuration and afterwards a rectification to improve the accuracy of general calibration. Design/methodology/approach -The hand-eye calibration of eye-to-hand configuration is summarized as a equation AX ϭ XB which is the same as in eye-in-hand calibration. A closed-form solution is derived. To abate the impact of noise, a rectification is conducted after the general calibration. Findings -Simulation and actual experiments confirm that the accuracy of calibration is obviously improved. Originality/value -Only a calibration plane is required for the hand-eye calibration. Taking the impact of noise into account, a rectification is carried out after the general calibration and, as a result, that the accuracy is obviously improved. The method can be applied in many actual applications.
