Visual servoing using triangulation with an omnidirectional multi-camera system

In this paper a new approach for robot control using position based visual servoing (PBVS) with an omnidirectional multi-camera system is presented. PBVS requires the explicit calculation of the position and orientation of the robot tool. Given only images without depth information, either additional geometric properties of the observed scene or stereo correspondences have to be provided for pose estimation. In this paper we use triangulation of images given by many cameras pointing in various directions. We confirm this approach with some simulational results.
