results of each calibration are very different

[lin-fangzhou]

I calibrated the robotic arm, but each time there were huge differences in the results. One noteworthy value is that my camera was always fixed on my hand, and I calibrated it 6 times as follows: result 1 translation: x: 0.17973868323082823 y: 0.006782370501410505 z: 0.07438441881749708 rotation: x: -0.45153815132695097 y: 0.5453857381574472 z: -0.43437538148312277 w: 0.5567636145368047

Hi @lin-fangzhou,

there are many factors that can affect the calibration accuracy. Please check if the troubleshooting helps.

If you are getting results that different greatly from each other, something fundamental should be wrong. Please check that your marker tracking is working (the tracking software keeps giving the same result if the marker doesn't move), that the marker size is correct, that the camera is solidly attached to the robot, that the marker doesn't move, that you wait until the system reaches a steady state before acquiring a sample, and that the samples that you take are distributed maximizing the rotation about each of the 3 axes.
