Description

This project aims to design and create a motion capture system that utilises multiple cameras to estimate the position and pose of a moving object. The cameras are used to capture pixel coordinate data of certain features of the robot, then transmit the data to a base station which runs an EKF algorithm to estimate position, velocity, orientation and angular velocity.

Key skills/interests:

Mathematical modelling, machine vision, state estimation, MATLAB/python programming

Expected outputs:

1x MSc (Eng), 1x Journal/Conference paper in a leading publication, 1x optical motion capture system
