    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.

    Abstract: A robot control system and a method for automatic camera calibration is presented. The robot control system includes a control circuit configured to control a robot arm to move a calibration pattern to at least one location within a camera field of view, and to receive a calibration image from a camera. The control circuit determines a first estimate of a first intrinsic camera parameter based on the calibration image. After the first estimate of the first intrinsic camera parameter is determined, the control circuit determines a first estimate of a second intrinsic camera parameter based on the first estimate of the first intrinsic camera parameter. These estimates are used to determine an estimate of a transformation function that describes a relationship between a camera coordinate system and a world coordinate system. The control circuit controls placement of the robot arm based on the estimate of the transformation function.
