METHOD TO CONTROL A DRIVE MECHANISM OF AN AUTOMATED MACHINE HAVING A CAMERA

摘要

The invention relates to a method to control a drive mechanism of an automated machine for approaching a point of interest on an object, the object having a surface on which a reference information of the object is provided as a one- or two-dimensional pattern, the method comprising capturing at least one image of the object by means of at least one camera of the automated machine, identifying the reference information in the at least one image, determining a position and orientation of the reference information relative to the at least one camera, determining a position and orientation of the object based on the determined position and orientation of the reference information, and controlling the drive mechanism based on the determined position and orientation of the object.

1. A method to control a drive mechanism of an automated machine for approaching a point of interest on an object, the object having a surface on which a reference information of the object is provided as a one- or two-dimensional pattern, the method comprising:
capturing at least one image of the object using at least one camera of the automated machine; identifying the reference information in the at least one image; determining a position and orientation of the reference information relative to the at least one camera; determining a position and orientation of the object based on the determined position and orientation of the reference information; and controlling the drive mechanism based on the determined position and orientation of the object.
