Computing and Using
Inspection-oriented VCRs

Once the position of a 3D object in space has been estimated, an advanced inspection system should bring robot-mounted sensors to positions from which a given inspection task can be performed optimally. In general, several parts of an object require inspection, and each is best observed from a different viewpoint.

It is possible to compute inspection scripts for both single or multiple sensors. A single sensor can be either an intensity or a range imaging camera; A multiple sensor may be a stereo head, or a pair of intensity cameras. Examples of tasks are,
