Circular targets, as one of typical image features, are widely used in image -based measurement, such as photogrammetry, displacement sensing, and vibration monitoring. However, its positioning accuracy is usually sensitive to intensity changes in ambient lighting, particularly in outdoor applications and long-term monitoring scenarios. In this paper, a speckle -based circular target (SbCT) is introduced as a solution to the sensitivity of localization accuracy of traditional circular targets in illumination variation environment. By incorporating a speckle pattern on the circular target and u...
