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
