Compensating over- and underexposure in optical target pose determination

作者:

Highlights:

• A wrong (over or under) exposure leads to a bias in optical target pose determination.

• Concentric circles targets allow detecting and compensating for any bias caused by exposure.

• A rigorous sub-pixel edge detector is formulated based on a pixel-level image formation model.

• A new algorithm uses geometric constraints of concentric circles to determine the exposure bias.

• Experimental evaluation in a controlled environment confirms unbiased pose determination.
