Abstract
A method and apparatus uses naturally occurring object features as targets in a machine vision based robot (or other) guidance system. In one embodiment, a special high speed processor finds at least 3 pre-selected feature points on an object, which when considered with the data base for the object, allows a rapid 6 degree of freedom solution for the object location relative to the camera and thence connected automation. While primarily envisioned for industrial robots, the invention is useful for all sorts of machines including vehicles, construction machinery and the like--anywhere the target object has a known data base relative to the features in question.
