Sensing Algorithm to Estimate Slight Displacement and Posture Change of Target from Monocular Images

Abstract

Various types of displacement sensors, which measure position changes of object, have been developed depending on the type and shape of the object under measurement, measurement range of the amount of displacement, required accuracy, and application. We are developing a new type of displacement sensor that is image-based, capable of measuring changes in 6DOF (3D position and orientation) of an object simultaneously, and is compact and low-cost. This displacement sensor measures the 6DOF of an object using images obtained by a monocular vision system. To confirm the usefulness of the proposed method, experimental measurements were conducted using a simple and inexpensive optical system. In this experiment, we were able to accurately measure changes of about 0.25 mm in displacement and 0.1 deg in inclination of the object at a distance of a few centimeters, and thus confirming the usefulness of the proposed method.

“…Input devices collect data from the environment. They may measure temperature [ 46 ], medical parameters [ 47 ], displacement [ 48 ], pH [ 49 ], pressure [ 50 ], humidity [ 51 ], inertia [ 52 ], etc. Output devices broadcast messages to the external world.…”

Dynamic 3D Measurement without Motion Artifacts Based on Feature Compensation

“…Due to various benefits like excellent precision, fast measurement in multiple dimensions, and the ability to automate the process, non-contact optical 3D shape measurement technology has gained popularity [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ]. This technology has been extensively researched and applied in various fields under computer control constraints [ 5 , 6 , 7 ].…”
