A three-dimensional vision measurement method based on double-line combined structured light

Abstract

In this paper, a structured light vision measurement method using a scanning laser line and a positioning laser line is proposed. The novel method enables the scanning laser plane to slide along a slide rail while maintaining intersection with the positioning laser plane, eliminating the need to determine the scanning direction and moving step. During the measurement process, the laser plane equations need to be recalibrated for each new position, so a real-time calibration method is given. Initially, the geometric barycenter method is employed to detect the subpixel coordinates of the light stripe intersection point. Subsequently, these coordinates are projected into the camera coordinate system using the initial equations of the positioning laser plane. Finally, leveraging the normal information of the initial equation of the scanning laser plane and the three-dimensional coordinates of the light stripe intersection point, the real-time calibration of the scanning laser plane equations can be accomplished. The proposed method enables the three-dimensional reconstruction of objects, and its accuracy is verified through measurements on gauge blocks. Experimental results demonstrate that this method achieves precise and stable three-dimensional reconstruction of object surface shape.
