We improve ZacharyTaylor'work which just calibrate camera to eye mounted a checkerboard to achieve the situation that the camera is mounted on the arm of robot.
A checkerboard is mounted on the end of the end effector. The corner points of this checkerboard can be robustly detected in the image. The location of its points can also be projected into the image using
Where
is a corner point on the checkerboard.
is the transformation from the robotic arms base to its end effector.
is the transformation from the camera to the robotic arms base, which is the goal we want.
is the transformation from the robotic arms end effector to the checkerboard.
The specific details are shown in the documentation 'Camera to Robot Arm Calibration.pdf'.
When a checkerboard is mounted on the end of the end effector, we improve the above method. In contrast, the location of the detected points can also be projected into the image using

is the transformation from the robotic arms base to the checkerboard.
To apply this work to two scenes as above, we recommend readers to refer to the ZacharyTaylor's repository and the folder 'examples'. Note that we record the transformation from the robotic arms base to its end effector as a transform matrix.
