Application: Method of calibrating camera to robot, system, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer program (Patent ID: US20230419545A1)

The patent filed by Seiko Epson Corp. describes a method for calibrating a camera to a robot arm using machine learning models and encoder values. The method involves estimating pixel coordinate values of characteristic points on the robot arm from an image captured by the camera, converting these values into 3D camera coordinate system values, calculating 3D robot coordinate system values using encoder data, and repeating these steps for multiple robot arm postures to determine calibration parameters, including the camera's external parameters. The system and computer program described in the patent are configured to execute this calibration process efficiently and accurately.

The method outlined in the patent involves a systematic approach to calibrating a camera to a robot arm, ensuring precise alignment and accurate parameter estimation. By utilizing machine learning models and encoder values, the process can be automated and repeated for various robot arm postures, leading to comprehensive calibration results. The system and computer program detailed in the patent are designed to streamline this calibration process, making it accessible and effective for a wide range of applications requiring camera-to-robot calibration.
