Provided is a hand/eye calibration method by using a projective invariant
shape descriptor of a two-dimensional image. The method includes
calculating a projective invariant shape descriptor of a two-dimensional
image from at least two images obtained by a camera mounted on a robot
hand, at a predetermined time interval, extracting corresponding points
between the images by using the projective invariant shape descriptor,
calculating a rotation matrix for the corresponding points from
translation of the robot hand, calculating translation vector for the
corresponding points from translation and rotation of the robot hand, and
finding a relation between the robot hand and the camera based on the
rotation matrix and the translation vector.
