Abstract

It is generally accepted that to develop versatile bin-picking systems capable of grasping and manipulation operations, accurate 3-D information is required. To accomplish this goal, we have developed a fast and precise range sensor based on active depth from defocus (DFD). This sensor is used in conjunction with a three-component vision system, which is able to recognize and evaluate the attitude of 3-D objects. The first component performs scene segmentation using an edge-based approach. Since edges are used to detect the object boundaries, a key issue consists of improving the quality of edge detection. The second component attempts to recognize the object placed on the top of the object pile using a model-driven approach in which the segmented surfaces are compared with those stored in the model database. Finally, the attitude of the recognized object is evaluated using an eigenimage approach augmented with range data analysis. The full bin-picking system will be outlined, and a number of experimental results will be examined.
