Accuracy Improvement of Binocular Vision Measurement System for Slope Deformation Monitoring

Sensors (Basel). 2020 Apr 2;20(7):1994. doi: 10.3390/s20071994.

Abstract

This paper studies the limitations of binocular vision technology in monitoring accuracy. The factors affecting the surface displacement monitoring of the slope are analyzed mainly from system structure parameters and environment parameters. Based on the error analysis theory, the functional relationship between the structure parameters and the monitoring error is studied. The error distribution curve is obtained through laboratory testing and sensitivity analysis, and parameter selection criteria are proposed. Corresponding image optimization methods are designed according to the error distribution curve of the environment parameters, and a large number of tests proved that the methods effectively improved the measurement accuracy of slope deformation monitoring. Finally, the reliability and accuracy of the proposed system and method are verified by displacement measurement of a slope on site.
