Using pose_estimator in tod_training for creating a training base, I wonder why sometimes the pose estimation fails. On fat_free_milk from tod kinect training data pose could be estimated on all of its images.

This might also be an OpenCV issue since the underlying cv::findChessboardCorners in OpenCV does not return any corners. How come?

You might want to reword the question headline. It doesn't read as a question.

Thanks for your suggestion.

Some things to try:

Bring the object closer; maybe the chessboard is too small.
Mess with the lighting; even with a black-and-white image, things are tricky.
Make sure you're giving OpenCV the correct chessboard size; it wants the number of rows/cols, not the number of corners, IIRC.

Thanks for the suggestions. Using a larger chessboard seems to be a prospective idea to try next time. It worked in 80% of all test cases, so I think the general configuration was correct. In my case, lighting should not be changed too much. The OpenCV mailing list shows similar issues.

If you think I've answered your question, you should mark it answered. Karma karma karma!

Sorry for the misunderstanding. The chessboard was detected in about 80% of all pictures similar to the one in my question, _WITHOUT_ incorporating your suggestions. I hope I can try whether using your suggestion pushes the success rate to 100%. Need the laboratory though for this.
