Puma 2 sequence was taken by connecting a camera to the end of a puma robot arm. The robot arm was then rotated for 120 degrees and 30 image frames were taken each frame being taken approximately after every 4 degrees. The radius of the robot arm was approximately 1.8 feet. The scene was the robotics lab at UMass plastered with posters on the walls and floor. The sequence was taken by Rakesh Kumar and Harpreet Singh Sawhney in Spring 1990 at UMass, Amherst.
Sequence is also described in the paper (Fig. 5) : "Pose Refinement: Application to Model Extension and Sensitivity to camera parameters" by Rakesh Kumar and Allen Hanson. Paper was published in DARPA IU Workshop 1990 (pp. 660-670). Another version was also published in ICCV, Osaka 1990 (pp. 365-369, Fig. 3).
The 30 image frames are in the following directory vis::visimg$root:[puma2]
There are both level 9 (512x512) and level 8 (256x256) images
in that directory. All images are in UMass-LLVS format.
The level 9 images are from fr1.plane to fr30.plane
The level 8 images are from fr1_lev8.plane to fr30_lev8.plane
We did all our experiments on the level 8 images. The output of running
Anandan's optic flow routines are in the directory vis::visimg$root:[puma2.flow].
This was used to do the tracking of image points got by line intersections
(Williams and Hanson, DARPA IU 1987). The *dc.plane files are
the column component of the optic flow for each consecutive pair of image
frames. The *dr.plane files are the row component of the optic
flow for each consecutive pair of image frames.
Camera Specifications:
Imagesizex 256 Imagesizey 242 (for the level 8 images)
Field of view x axis (fovx) 41.67491 degrees
Field of view y axis (fovy) 39.52927 degrees
Focal length in pixels for x axis is given by Sx = (Imagesizex/2) cotan(fovx/2)
Focal length in pixels for y axis is given by Sy = (Imagesizey/2) cotan(fovy/2)
Right handed camera coordinate system.
Optical axis of the camera (pointing out of the image plane) is the z-axis.
Vertical axis (-ve row direction: pointing upward) is y-axis.
Horizontal axis (-ve column direction) is the x-axis.
Center of image plane assumed to be at frame center LLVS coordinates
(row 134.5, col 127.5).
Note the top 14 lines for level 8 images are blank. Therefore the frame
center for rows is got by:
row_cen = (256 - 14)/2 + 14 - 0.5 = 134.5.The frame center for columns
is obtained by:
col_cen = 256/2 - 0.5 = 127.5
Not calibrated for lens distortion. There is some radial lens distortion.
LLVS (row,col) coordinate system has its origin at the top left corner
of the image. Pixel locations for level 8 images range from [(0..255),(0..255)].
To convert from (row,col) coordinates to camera centered (x,y) coordinates.
Use the following equations for level 8 images.
x = 127.5 - col
y = 134.5 - row
Location of the points in the figure for the puma sequence (Fig. 5) shown in paper "Pose Refinement: Application to Model Extension and Sensitivity to camera parameters" by Rakesh Kumar and Allen Hanson. Paper was published in DARPA IU Workshop 1990 (pp. 660-670). Another version was also published in ICCV, Osaka 1990 (pp. 365-369, Fig. 3).
The location of the points are in world coordinates. Right handed world coordinate system.
x-y-z axis correspond to the natural coordinate axis of the room. The origin is at the bottom visible baseboard corner of the room. The y-axis is the vertical (gravity) direction. The z-axis is horizontal direction along the wall coming towards the camera. The x-axis is horizontal direction along the far wall almost perpendicular to the optical axis. We assumed the natural axes of the room were all perpendicular to each other. Measurements done using tape measure.

Pose Results using Kumar's R_and_T algorithm are for 30 frames
in order from frame 1 to frame 30.
The results are in order of translation and rotation.
Xc = R(Xw) + T; where Xc is a 3D point
in camera coordinates,Xw is a 3D point in world coordinates,R
is rotation represented as a 4-tuple unit quaternion, and T is translation
(3-tuple).
A quaternion is represented as a 4-tuple: (cos(a/2),sin(a/2)*w) where a
is the angle of rotation and w is the axis of rotation.
