Single Camera 3D Position Estimation

RobotAI develops AI-based software that transforms any camera into a 3D measurement device. This single camera detects objects and extracts their position and orientation from a single image.

We provide 6 numbers for any known object :

Position: X,Y, Z / Tx, Ty, Tz
Orientation angles: A,B,C / Rx, Ry Rz

Advantages

Easily deals with translucent, reflective, polished objects

Converts sensor data into meaningful objects with 3D positions

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
