Single Camera 3D Position Estimation
RobotAI develops AI based software that transforms any camera into a 3D measurement device. It detects objects and extracts their position and orientation from a single image, single camera.
We provide 6 numbers for any known object :
position X,Y,Z
orientation angles A,B,C
Advantages
Speed
No point clouds
Using NVIDIA GPU can run 30 frame/sec
Fast object tracking
Flexibility
Define objects for robots without coding
Any camera : WebCam, Industrial even Smartphone
Working range could be easily adapted
System setup
Precision
RGB camera allows to use different optics
Getting close to the object allows submillimeter position accuracy
Price
Uses low cost sensors
Can run on a computer with GPU or NVIDIA JATSON
No additional equipment
Competitive software pricing
Comparison to Active Vision Sensors
Comparing RGB and active vision sensors like RealSense or LIDARs reveals that active vision sensors have their own problems:
Noise
Shadows
Working distances
Sensitivity to materials
Blindness to textures
At the end - you need to find an object in the point cloud
