Automated 3D measurement with the DCS200 digital camera

摘要

A digital photogrammetric system for automated 3D coordinate measurement in a production environment has been developed. For the image acquisition the Kodak DCS200 digital camera is used. This camera is based on a standard 35-mm camera. The results of the radiometric and geometric calibration of the DCS200 camera show the potential of this camera for photogrammetric applications. The software part of the system performs the detection, identification, and measurement of artificial targets present in digital images. These artificial targets are designed for automatic detection in images of a complex scene. For the identification of the targets a circular bar code is read by the image processing software. The least squares template matching method is implemented for the target image measurement. A precision better than 2% of a pixel was obtained for the target location. The 3D coordinate computation is performed by Geodelta's bundle adjustment package BINAER. It includes extensive statistical testing to assess the accuracy of the results. Tests with the DCS200 camera show a repeatability of 18 micrometer standard deviation on a test field 60 $MUL 50 $MUL 30 centimeter. The achieved precision is in the order of 2 $DOT 10$+$MIN@5$/.
