Abstract
For calibration on a single camera or a stereo camera, a calibration range is set in advance in an image coordinate system and the calibration is performed in an arbitrary range. A visual sensor controller is a calibration device that associates a robot coordinate system at a robot and an image coordinate system at a camera by placing a target mark at the robot, moving the robot, and detecting the target mark at multiple points in a view of the camera. The calibration device comprises: an image range setting unit that sets an image range in the image coordinate system at the camera; and a calibration range measurement unit that measures an operation range for the robot corresponding to the image range before implementation of calibration by moving the robot and detecting the target mark.
