    Abstract: A system and method for performing automatic camera calibration is provided. The system receives a calibration image, and determines a plurality of image coordinates for representing respective locations at which a plurality of pattern elements of a calibration pattern appear in a calibration image. The system determines, based on the plurality of image coordinates and defined pattern element coordinates, an estimate for a first lens distortion parameter of a set of lens distortion parameters, wherein the estimate for the first lens distortion parameter is determined while estimating a second lens distortion parameter of the set of lens distortion parameters to be zero, or is determined without estimating the second lens distortion parameter. The system determines, after the estimate of the first lens distortion parameter is determined, an estimate for the second lens distortion parameter based on the estimate for the first lens distortion parameter.

    Abstract: A computing system and a method for calibration verification is presented. The computing system is configured to perform a first calibration operation, and to control a robot arm to move a verification symbol to a reference location. The robot control system further receives, from a camera, a reference image of the verification symbol, and determines a reference image coordinate for the verification symbol. The robot control system further controls the robot arm to move the verification symbol to the reference location again during an idle period, receives an additional image of the verification symbol, and determines a verification image coordinate. The robot control system determines a deviation parameter value based the reference image coordinate and the verification image coordinate, and whether the deviation parameter value exceeds a defined threshold, and performs a second calibration operation if the threshold is exceeded.

    Abstract: A robot control system and a method for updating camera calibration is presented. The method comprises the robot control system performing a first camera calibration to determine camera calibration information, and outputting a first movement command based on the camera calibration information for a robot operation. The method further comprises outputting, after the first camera calibration, a second movement command to move a calibration pattern within a camera field of view, receiving one or more calibration images, and adding the one or more calibration images to a captured image set. The method further comprises performing a second camera calibration based on calibration images in the captured image set to determine updated camera calibration information, determining whether a deviation between the camera calibration information and the updated camera calibration information exceeds a defined threshold, and outputting a notification signal if the deviation exceeds the defined threshold.

    Abstract: A method and system for processing camera images is presented. The system receives a first depth map generated based on information sensed by a first type of depth-sensing camera, and receives a second depth map generated based on information sensed by a second type of depth-sensing camera. The first depth map includes a first set of pixels that indicate a first set of respective depth values. The second depth map includes a second set of pixels that indicate a second set of respective depth values. The system identifies a third set of pixels of the first depth map that correspond to the second set of pixels of the second depth map, identifies one or more empty pixels from the third set of pixels, and updates the first depth map by assigning to each empty pixel a respective depth value based on the second depth map.
