Embodiment 1

[0062] (1a) Utilize Kinect to collect the foreground depth image and the foreground color image that comprise the measured object and the background depth image and the background color image of the measuring platform that does not contain the measured object;

[0063] (1b) Carry out checkerboard calibration to the color camera of Kinect, calculate the internal parameters and external parameters of the camera through the relationship between the image coordinate system and the world coordinate system, and the general camera model can be expressed as shown in formula (I):

[0064]

[0065] In formula (I), K is only related to the internal structure of the camera, called the internal parameters of the camera; R, t is only related to the orientation of the camera relative to the world coordinate system, called the external parameters of the camera, R is the rotation matrix, and t is the translation Matrix, [x y] is the coordinate of image pixel point, and [X Y Z] is the coordin...

Abstract

The invention discloses an object volume calculating method based on Kinect. The method comprises the steps of (1), acquiring a depth image and a color image by means of Kinect; (2), calibrating a color camera of the Kinect; (3), setting an ROI area of the depth image, performing image segmentation by means of a foreground color image which comprises a measured object and a background color image of a measurement platform that does not comprise the measured object, and obtaining a binary image of the measured object; (4), converting a background depth image ROI area to a background distance matrix, and performing preprocessing on the background distance matrix, filling in elements which are zero on the background distance matrix, and converting the foreground depth image ROI area to a foreground distance matrix; (5), obtaining a height matrix according to difference between the foreground distance matrix and the background distance matrix; and (6), calculating length, width, height and volume of the object. The object volume calculating method effectively settles problems of high labor intensity and long measurement time in traditional manual measurement, and is a noncontact measurement means. Damage of the measurement object is prevented. A requirement for automatic is satisfied and furthermore measurement precision is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a Kinect-based object volume calculation method, which belongs to the field of computer vision. Background technique [0002] With the development of digital signal processing and computer technology, the new technology formed by converting the external environment image acquired by the camera into a digital signal, and using the computer to realize the whole process of visual information processing is called computer vision. Apply computer vision to precise measurement and positioning of spatial geometric dimensions, resulting in visual measurement technology. As one of today's high-tech, visual measurement has developed rapidly on the basis of continuous maturity and improvement of image processing and computer technology, and has been widely used in product inspection, reverse engineering, robot navigation and other fields. Computer vision measurement technology uses image sensors as a means to detect the three-dimensional ...
