Visual Servoing Platform  version 3.4.0
servoPioneerPoint2DDepth.cpp

Example that shows how to control the Pioneer mobile robot by IBVS visual servoing with respect to a blob. The current visual features that are used are s = (x, log(Z/Z*)). The desired one are s* = (x*, 0), with:

The degrees of freedom that are controlled are (vx, wz), where wz is the rotational velocity and vx the translational velocity of the mobile platform at point M located at the middle between the two wheels.

The feature x allows to control wy, while log(Z/Z*) allows to control vz. The value of x is measured thanks to a blob tracker. The value of Z is estimated from the surface of the blob that is proportional to the depth Z.
