Summary

Owing to advances in machine vision, it is now possible to study automatic gripping of moving parts. This complex task requires a precise knowledge of the displacements of objects in a camera field.

In this paper, a method to analyse the motion of parts is presented; it is based on the correlation of numerical images. The treatment of data provided by the image background makes this method quite original.

The utilization of this method, often considered as rather awkward, makes it possible, in this case, to develop a position feedback operation of the robot actuators controlled in an open loop (step by step motors).
