Full-automatic calibration method and apparatus oriented to structured light 3D vision system

A full-automatic calibration device oriented to a structured light 3D (three-dimension) vision system, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a memory in communication with the at least one processor;
• wherein,
• the memory is configured to store an instruction executable by the at least one processor, and the instruction, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to perform a full-automatic calibration method comprising the following steps of:
• erecting a 3D vision system and a manipulator;
• mounting a calibration target and a controllable lighting system on the manipulator;
• initializing a position of the manipulator;
• and
• running an automatic calibration system, and outputting calibration results;
• wherein the running an automatic calibration system comprises the following steps of:
• 1) taking 20 sets of pictures, with 45 pictures in each set;
• 2) inputting the 20 sets of pictures into a calibration algorithm of Zhang Zhengyou, and detecting results;
• 3) adding one set of recorded results;
• 4) if a number of sets of recorded results is less than 2, returning to step 1;
• otherwise, going to step 5;
• 5) if the number of sets of recorded results is equal to 2, going to step 6;
• 6) if a result difference is less than a set threshold, going to step 7;
• otherwise, returning to step 1, wherein the result difference is an amount of calibration accuracy improvement after each cycle of steps 1-5;
• and
• 7) averaging, and outputting results;
• wherein the taking 20 sets of pictures comprises the following steps of:
• 1) starting single-picture taking;
• 2) if a picture is obtained, continuing next step;
• and if no picture is obtained, searching for a picture;
• 3) performing hexagonal shift in a Z plane, taking a picture at each position, and judging a number of angular points and sorting the angular points;
• 4) if no picture is obtained, expanding a search range;
• 5) if no picture is obtained yet, returning to an original point, adjusting a direction of the Z plane by 45 degrees, and repeating operations;
• 6) if a position of a largest angular point is found, adjusting a direction and a brightness of the 3D vision system to obtain a first complete front picture, and recording the position;
• 7) Adjusting an angle to obtain a set of pictures;
• 8) adjusting a distance to obtain a set of pictures;
• and
• 9) obtaining 20 sets of pictures in total, with 50 pictures in each set.
