Camera measurments filters

my robot is standing still but my camera has problem identifiend the 2 april tags at the speaker so it dissapears sometimes , when that happens my robots estimated pose jumpes 10cm back and forth, how can i filter that from happening

What camera/software are you using?

What is the numerical frequency of this problem? Once every 30 minutes? Once a minute? Once a second?

Need details to get detailed help.

First, eliminate all sources of noise that you know of.

  • Triple-check the tags are mounted in the right locations, especially relative to each other.
  • Re-run camera calibration.
  • Confirm you’re not being hit by the 2d-3d ambiguity problem

After that - the best you can do is just averaging the pose estimates.

However, important to note: A consistent “off by X” error with one tag but not another likely implies a systematic error (like mounting the tag at the wrong spot), not a truly random one (like noise in the camera image slightly changing where a tag corner is at).
