Laser-Tracker-Assisted Camera-to-Robot Calibration for Mobile Robots

Summary

arXiv:2609.27006v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present a laser-tracker-assisted hand-eye calibration method for camera-equipped mobile robots. The method combines laser-tracker-based 3D metrology with camera-based 2D observations. Building on our previous laser-tracker-assisted camera-to-robot calibration method for ground-observing mobile robots, we present a generalized formulation for calibrating the camera pose in the coordinate system of tracker-localized mobile robots. The new approach relaxes assumptions of our previous method on robot and camera configuration by chaining multiple calibration targets resulting in a more general approach supporting various camera-equipped mobile robot systems.
