Abstract: A method for determining a standard depth value of a marker includes obtaining a maximum depth value of the marker. A reference depth value of the marker is obtained based on a depth image of the marker, and a Z-axis coordinate value of the marker is obtained based on a color image of the marker. When the reference depth value and the Z-axis coordinate value are both less than the maximum depth value, and a difference between the reference depth value and the Z-axis coordinate value is not greater than 0, the depth reference value is set as the standard depth value of the marker; and when the difference is greater than 0, the Z-axis coordinate value is set as the standard depth value of the marker.

Abstract: A method for identifying objects by shape in close proximity to other objects of different shapes obtains point cloud information of multiple objects. The objects are arranged in at least two trays and the trays are stacked. A depth image of the objects is obtained according to the point cloud information, and the depth image of the objects is separated and layered to obtain a layer information of all the objects. An object identification system also disclosed. Three-dimensional machine vision is utilized in identifying the objects, improving the accuracy of object identification, and enabling the mechanical arm to accurately grasp the required object.

Abstract: A method for controlling a robotic arm to grasp and place objects includes acquiring a plurality of sets of images each of which including an RGB image and a depth image. The RGB image and the depth image of each set are associated with each other. A plurality of fused images are obtained by fusing of depth information on each RGB image based on depth information of corresponding depth image. Once a three-dimensional map is constructed based on the plurality of fused images, a robotic arm is controlled to grasp and place objects based on the three-dimensional map.
