OBJECT POSITION ESTIMATION WITH CALIBRATED SENSORS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17819331 titled 'OBJECT POSITION ESTIMATION WITH CALIBRATED SENSORS
Simplified Explanation
- A system with a computer, processor, and memory is disclosed. - The memory includes instructions for acquiring images with a sensor. - The sensor is calibrated with a fiducial marker to determine a real-world location of a reference plane. - An image of an object is acquired to determine if it is located on the reference plane by identifying object feature points. - The location of the object in real-world coordinates, including depth, is determined based on the object feature points. - The system is operated based on the location of the object.
Potential Applications
- Robotics - Augmented reality - Industrial automation - Medical imaging
Problems Solved
- Accurate object positioning - Real-time object tracking - Improved spatial awareness
Benefits
- Enhanced precision in object location - Increased efficiency in operations - Improved user experience in various applications
Original Abstract Submitted
A system is disclosed that includes a computer that includes a processor and a memory, the memory including instructions executable by the processor to acquire a first image with a sensor, wherein the sensor is calibrated with a fiducial marker to determine a real world location of a reference plane. An image of an object is acquired with the sensor to determine that the object is located on the reference plane by determining object feature points. A location of the object is determined in real world coordinates including depth based on the object feature points. The system is operated based on the location of the object.
