Extraction method of a nonuniform auxiliary laser stripe feature for three-dimensional reconstruction of large...

3D measurement plays an important role in the processing and assembling of large components in the aviation and aerospace industry. However, precision control is a challenging problem due to the complex on-site illumination environment and serious background interference. For the binocular stereovision measurement system based on auxiliary laser scanning, this paper proposes an extraction method of laser stripe for 3D reconstruction. First, an evaluation method for the laser stripe is proposed by analyzing the features of the stripe image. Then, a laser stripe extraction method based on self-adaptive threshold is proposed. To further improve the efficiency of image processing, an improved Kalman filter algorithm is adopted to fast-track and locate the region of interest of laser stripes in the sequence images. Finally, measurement experiments for a large-scale aircraft panel are carried out on-site. The results show that the center extraction error is less than 0.1 pixel and 3D reconstruction error is less than 0.06 mm. The proposed methods improve the efficiency and accuracy of 3D reconstruction of large components, and the feasibility of on-site application is also verified.
