The braking stability of semi-trailer train is directly related to the safety of driving. The braking time sequence of vehicle in braking process directly determines the braking stability of the vehicle. To overcome the limitations of the existing technology, this paper proposes a novel non-contact vehicle braking time sequence measurement method. The proposed method is based on binocular stereo vision that has high precision, high efficiency and low cost. First, the binocular stereo vision measurement principle is introduced, the camera is calibrated by three-dimensional target and the Levenberg–Marquardt algorithm is used to optimize the calibration parameters. Then, a series of image processing techniques are used to extract the wheel marker and perform three-dimensional coordinate reconstruction. Finally, the universality and the applicability of the proposed method are verified by conducting repetitive experiments and accuracy experiments for the same vehicle and different types of vehicles according to the designed experimental process and the established evaluation index. The experimental results show that the method proposed in this paper can achieve fast detection, with high accuracy and good repeatability. Moreover, the method can be extended to various types of vehicles.

To the baggage specification automatically detection problem of self-service bag drop system, a baggage size detection algorithm based on stereo vision is proposed. The algorithm is based on binocular stereo vision measurement principle. Firstly, the canny edges of baggage image are extracted as the feature points. With the disparity gradient constraint and epipolar constraint, Stereo matching algorithm based on edge features is proposed, meanwhile, the two images play a symmetric role to ensure the reliability of matching in the matching process. The coordinates of the three dimensional points are derived with approximation of the middle point of the common perpendicular line in different planes. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can detect the baggage specification with appropriate accuracy.

In order to improve the safety, high efficiency and stability in the process of the crane hoisting, this paper applied binocular stereo vision technology which has developed into a rather mature stage recently. Binocular stereo vision system could efficiently identify and accurately position various targets, so that it could decrease the crane driver’s working intensity, reduce security risks and improve the production efficiency. In order to experiments was convenient, developing the crane robot system could simulate the processes of crane work, establishing the relevant system structure model for the motion. According to the three-dimensional measuring principle of binocular stereo vision, this paper is proposed to identify and position for the targets, and experimental results show the error is ±10mm.

To obtain effective indoor moving target localization, a reliable and stable moving target localization method based on binocular stereo vision is proposed in this paper. A moving target recognition extraction algorithm, which integrates displacement pyramid Horn–Schunck (HS) optical flow, Delaunay triangulation and Otsu threshold segmentation, is presented to separate a moving target from a complex background, called the Otsu Delaunay HS (O-DHS) method. Additionally, a stereo matching algorithm based on deep matching and stereo vision is presented to obtain dense stereo matching points pairs, called stereo deep matching (S-DM). The stereo matching point pairs of the moving target were extracted with the moving target area and stereo deep matching point pairs, then the three dimensional coordinates of the points in the moving target area were reconstructed according to the principle of binocular vision’s parallel structure. Finally, the moving target was located by the centroid method. The experimental results showed that this method can better resist image noise and repeated texture, can effectively detect and separate moving targets, and can match stereo image points in repeated textured areas more accurately and stability. This method can effectively improve the effectiveness, accuracy and robustness of three-dimensional moving target coordinates.

A method of measuring the radius of circular parts by binocular stereo vision technology is proposed. First of all the interior and exterior parameters of cameras are acquired by the camera calibration technology. Then the epipolar constraint can be calculated which contains the calibrated information. The image matching which uses the epipolar constraint is done to find the matching points. The three dimensional (3D) coordinates of edges points are reconstructed through trigonometry reconstruction. At last the analytic expression of the plane in which the circle lies and the circles radius are calculated in two steps by Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) algorithm. The proposed method does not require the prior knowledge of position between the measuring plane and the calibration plane which monocular measurement needs. Experimental results show that the measurement has high precision.
