Calibration of Cameras and Fringe Pattern Projectors in the Vision System for Positioning of Workpieces on the CNC Machines

Article Preview

Abstract:

Application of machine vision in automation, robotics and mechatronic systems is one of the most rapidly developing areas of industrial and applied computer science. The vision system presented in the paper can be used for automatic positioning of the workpieces on the numerically controlled machines. The idea of the system is based on the 3D scanning using the fringe patterns approach [ but its accuracy strongly depends on the lighting conditions and the proper calibration of the whole vision system. The most crucial elements for the calibration are both cameras and structural light projectors, as well as the overall geometrical configuration (external parameters in the common coordinate system) and the compensation of the brightness nonlinearities introduced by the structural light sources. In the paper some methods used for the calibration of the experimental system and obtained results are presented.
