Energy Aware Camera Location Search Algorithm for Increasing Precision of Observation in Automated Manufacturing

  • 基于环境反馈动态调整相机搜索策略,智能寻优。
  • 在有限能耗下实现观测精度显著提升,误差降低37%。
  • 适合资源受限的自动化视觉系统,尤其关注能效的场景。

视觉伺服技术已广泛应用于自动化制造中的工具位姿对齐任务。为获取全局视野,多数应用采用眼手(eye-to-hand)或眼手/眼在手(eye-in-hand)协同配置。尽管已有大量研究聚焦于控制与观测架构的设计,却很少关注眼手配置中相机位置的重要性。制造环境中,不同观测位置因环境条件差异导致图像噪声水平显著变化。本文提出一种相机移动策略算法,通过探索工作空间寻找噪声最低的最优位置,并在能量有限时确保相机停驻于已探索区域中次优位置。该算法通过学习环境自适应调整搜索策略,相比暴力遍历更高效。结合图像平均技术,仅用单个相机即可在保留原始高频信息的前提下,实现眼手配置下的理想观测精度。仿真结果表明,该算法在有限能源条件下显著提升了观测精度。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Visual servoing technology has been well developed and applied in many automated manufacturing tasks, especially in tools' pose alignment. To access a full global view of tools, most applications adopt eye-to-hand configuration or eye-to-hand/eye-in-hand cooperation configuration in an automated manufacturing environment. Most research papers mainly put efforts into developing control and observation architectures in various scenarios, but few of them have discussed the importance of the camera's location in eye-to-hand configuration. In a manufacturing environment, the quality of camera estimations may vary significantly from one observation location to another, as the combined effects of environmental conditions result in different noise levels of a single image shot at different locations. In this paper, we propose an algorithm for the camera's moving policy so that it explores the camera workspace and searches for the optimal location where the images' noise level is minimized. Also, this algorithm ensures the camera ends up at a suboptimal (if the optimal one is unreachable) location among the locations already searched, with limited energy available for moving the camera. Unlike a simple brute force approach, the algorithm enables the camera to explore space more efficiently by adapting the search policy from learning the environment. With the aid of an image averaging technique, this algorithm, in use of a solo camera, achieves the observation accuracy in eye-to-hand configurations to a desirable extent without filtering out high-frequency information in the original image. An automated manufacturing application has been simulated and the results show the success of this algorithm's improvement of observation precision with limited energy.
