Optimisation of camera positions for optical coordinate measurement based on visible point analysis (2020)
Journal Article
Zhang, H., Eastwood, J., Isa, M., Sims-Waterhouse, D., Leach, R., & Piano, S. (2021). Optimisation of camera positions for optical coordinate measurement based on visible point analysis. Precision Engineering, 67, 178-188. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.precisioneng.2020.09.016

In optical coordinate measurement using cameras, the number of images, and positions and orientations of the cameras, are critical to object accessibility and the accuracy of a measurement. In this paper, we propose a technique to optimise the number... Read More about Optimisation of camera positions for optical coordinate measurement based on visible point analysis.

Optical three-dimensional coordinate measurement using stereo vision has systematic errors that affect measurement quality. This paper presents a scheme for measuring, modelling and correcting these errors. The position and orientation of a linear st...
