servoUniversalRobotsIBVS.cpp

Example of eye-in-hand image-based control law. We control here a real robot from Universal Robots. The velocity is computed in the camera frame. Visual features are the image coordinates of 4 points corresponding to the corners of an AprilTag.

The device used to acquire images is a Realsense D435 device.

Camera extrinsic (eMc) parameters are set by default to a value that will not match Your configuration. Use –eMc command line option to read the values from a file. This file could be obtained following extrinsic camera calibration tutorial: https://visp-doc.inria.fr/doxygen/visp-daily/tutorial-calibration-extrinsic.html

Camera intrinsic parameters are retrieved from the Realsense SDK.

The target is an AprilTag that is by default 12cm large. To print your own tag, see https://visp-doc.inria.fr/doxygen/visp-daily/tutorial-detection-apriltag.html You can specify the size of your tag using –tag_size command line option.
