“…The target recognition and pose estimation algorithm based directly on point cloud has become a hot research topic. However, in cluttered scenes, severe occlusions or interferences, less point cloud texture and too smooth target objects make current multi-target simultaneous identification face a huge challenge (Bratanič et al , 2015; Astanin et al , 2017; Choi and Christensen, 2016).…”

Purpose This paper aims to propose an identification method based on monocular vision for cylindrical parts in cluttered scene, which solves the issue that iterative closest point (ICP) algorithm fails to obtain global optimal solution, as the deviation from scene point cloud to target CAD model is huge in nature. Design/methodology/approach The images of the parts are captured at three locations by a camera amounted on a robotic end effector to reconstruct initial scene point cloud. Color signatures of histogram of orientations (C-SHOT) local feature descriptors are extracted from the model and scene point cloud. Random sample consensus (RANSAC) algorithm is used to perform the first initial matching of point sets. Then, the second initial matching is conducted by proposed remote closest point (RCP) algorithm to make the model get close to the scene point cloud. Levenberg Marquardt (LM)-ICP is used to complete fine registration to obtain accurate pose estimation. Findings The experimental results in bolt-cluttered scene demonstrate that the accuracy of pose estimation obtained by the proposed method is higher than that obtained by two other methods. The position error is less than 0.92 mm and the orientation error is less than 0.86°. The average recognition rate is 96.67 per cent and the identification time of the single bolt does not exceed 3.5 s. Practical implications The presented approach can be applied or integrated into automatic sorting production lines in the factories. Originality/value The proposed method improves the efficiency and accuracy of the identification and classification of cylindrical parts using a robotic arm.
