Calibration board is usually used for intrinsic parameter check and hand-eye calibration. This chapter introduces the types, models, and mounting methods of calibration boards.

Calibration Board Types and Models

Mech-Mind provides three types of calibration boards: BDB, CGB and OCB.

CGB

For V4 cameras.

OCB

OCB calibration boards have no mounting holes and therefore cannot be mounted on the last joint of the robot. It can be used only when the camera is mounted in the eye in hand (EIH) mode.

Mounting Method

In the following calibration scenarios, you can mount the calibration board on the last joint of the robot.

  • Automatic Calibration in the Eye to Hand (ETH) Scenario

  • Manual Calibration in the ETH Scenario (Multiple Random Calibration Board Poses)

For other calibration scenarios and intrinsic parameter checks, there is no need to mount the calibration board. Please place the calibration board in the center of the object plane.

Common ways to mount the calibration board are shown below:

Direct mounting Mounting through the flange adapter
