  • Publication number: 20220362945
    Abstract: An object pose estimation system, an execution method thereof and a graphic user interface are provided. The execution method of the object pose estimation system includes the following steps. A feature extraction strategy of a pose estimation unit is determined by a feature extraction strategy neural network model according to a scene point cloud. According to the feature extraction strategy, a model feature is extracted from a 3D model of an object and a scene feature is extracted from the scene point cloud by the pose estimation unit. The model feature is compared with the scene feature by the pose estimation unit to obtain an estimated pose of the object.

  • Publication number: 20210146549
    Abstract: A gripping device and a gripping method are provided. The gripping device includes a gripping component and an imaging element. The imaging element is configured to obtain an imaged result of an object. An action of the gripping component is generated through a training model according to the imaged result and at least one parameter. The gripping component grasps the object according to the action. A first parameter and a third parameter of the at least one parameter refer to the same axis, and a second parameter and the first parameter of the at least one parameter refer to distinct axes.

  • Patent number: 10977829
    Abstract: A depth camera calibration device and a method thereof are provided. The method comprises: disabling a projection function of a camera and photographing surface planes to obtain a first image; enabling the projection function of the camera and photographing the surface planes to obtain a second image, and a positional relationship between the camera and a calibration plate assembly remaining unchanged when obtaining the first image and the second image; and obtaining parameters of the camera by cropping an image boundary, calculating positions of characteristic points, reading a projection pattern, calculating positions of corresponding points and excluding abnormal points according to the first image and the second image.
