  • Patent number: 11816844
    Abstract: A method for measuring angular velocity and angular acceleration based on monocular vision. Firstly, a movement sequence image of a feature mark fixed on a working table of a rotary motion generating device is acquired via an acquisition and imaging device. Secondly, a region of interest on the movement sequence image of the feature mark under different shooting distances and rotating conditions is determined by cyclic matching between a set of circular templates and the movement sequence image of the feature mark. Then, a sub-pixel of feature line edges in the region of interest is extracted using a line segment detection method, and only the feature line edges in a motion direction are retained through a constraint of the number of edge points. Finally, the angular velocity and angular acceleration are calculated by using the extracted feature line edges in the motion direction.

A point projector capable of emitting three laser beams perpendicular to each other is placed on a measured object. A rear-projection screen is configured to allow the three laser beams to be projected thereon as three laser points. The collection of motion images is performed by a camera. Plane coordinates of the three laser points are obtained by processing a sequence image. A mathematical decoupling model is built according to a nature of sphere and a spatial position relationship of three laser beams. The plane coordinates of the three laser points are input into the mathematical decoupling model to obtain six-degree-of-freedom information of the measured object.
