Image Noise Induced Errors in Camera Positioning.

Graziano Chesi, Yeung Sam Hung

Abstract: The problem of evaluating worst-case camera positioning error induced by unknown-but-bounded (UBB) image noise for a given object-camera configuration is considered. Specifically, it is shown that upper bounds to the rotation and translation worst-case error for a certain image noise intensity can be obtained through convex optimizations. These upper bounds, contrary to lower bounds provided by standard optimization tools, allow one to design robust visual servo systems.
