title = "Determining robot location using common conic objects",
abstract = "In this paper, a new approach to the determination of robot location using the common conic object is proposed. Here, the common conic object includes any object that has a conic cylindrical portion, such as cylinders or elliptic cylinders etc.. Such objects are frequently seen in real environment. The solution provided by this approach can be computed analytically. This merit make the proposed approach more practical for general applications than other approaches requiring iterating computation. From a monocular image of the object, image processing and numerical analysis techniques are applied to extract the projection characteristics of the conic cylindrical portion of the object, from which the position and the rotation parameters of a camera-mounted robot can be determined. Experimental results with mean errors less than 5\% prove the feasibility of the proposed approach.",
