Cog3DHandEyeCalibrationValidator Class

Cognex VisionPro

This class is for validating an existing 3D hand-eye calibration for one camera. The validation step accepts as inputs the original hand-eye calibration, a set of robot poses, and a corresponding set of feature positions. The output of the validation is a hand-eye validation result object. the hand-eye validation result object contains a camera calibration validation result and residuals for the hand-eye calibration validation. These characterize the accuracy of the hand-eye system. The accuracy can be compared to "baseline" accuracy estimates from calibration time in order to determine if the hand-eye system is still in calibration.

Remarks

A "baseline" validation should be performed immediately after hand-eye calibration. That baseline validation step should involve multiple view sets so that one can estimate the distribution of residuals. The "baseline" validation measurements are stored for future comparison.

Then, at some arbitrary time (usually after the system performed vision tasks for a period of time), the user acquires images of the same calibration plate in some set of (preferrably, the same) robot poses and executes hand-eye calibration validation to get the "current" measurements. Finally, the user compares the "current" validation measurements with the "baseline".

If the "current" measurements agree with the "baseline" measurements to a satisfactory degree, then the system is in calibration and the user does not need to perform any recalibration. If the measurements inside the camera calibration validation results satisfactorily agree, but the measurements of hand-eye validation residuals do not satisfactorily agree, then the user can use the baseline camera intrinsics to re-perform hand-eye calibration. If camera calibration validation results do not agree and the hand-eye calibration validation results do not agree, then camera calibration and hand-eye calibration both need to be performed again.
