Abstract

In this paper, an efficient novel method for tracking the linear deformable objects (LDOs) in real time is proposed. The method is developed based on recursively slicing a pointcloud into smaller pointclouds with sufficiently small variance. The performance of this method is investigated through a series of experiments with various camera resolutions in simulation when a robot end effector tracking an LDO using an RGBD camera, and in real word when the camera tracks a rope during a swing. The performance of the proposed method is compared with another state-of-the-art technique and the outcome is reported here.
