Abstract

In the scattering environment, binocular stereo vision measurement technology produces large errors due to the change of refractive index of the imaging light path and the decrease in target image contrast. To address this problem, this paper proposes a method for improving the measurement accuracy of binocular stereo vision in a scattering environment combined with polarization imaging theory. First, scattering images with different polarization directions are obtained and filtered by a Gaussian low-pass filter to calculate the degree of polarization and angle of polarization. Then, the scattered light intensity is calculated by using polarization information to obtain images after removing the scattering. Second, feature extraction and matching are carried out for the images after scattering removal. Finally, the target is measured based on the binocular stereo vision measurement model. The experimental results show that when the scattering concentration is high enough, the conventional method can no longer perform measurement, but the method proposed in this paper can still obtain the target parameters at this time, and can also improve measurement accuracy by at least 46.30%. In conclusion, the proposed method provides a valuable reference to improve the accuracy of binocular stereo vision measurement in a scattering environment by reducing the interference of scattering light.
