The invention provides a three-dimensional reconstruction 
system and 
reconstruction method based on 
PAL cameras. The reconstruction 
system comprises two industrial cameras respectively provided with a 
PAL lens, the two 
PAL lenses are arranged in a perpendicular manner, and the two industrial cameras are connected with a computer through 
USB data wires. The three-dimensional 
reconstruction method comprises the following steps of: arranging the two industrial cameras respectively provided with one PAL lens in the perpendicular manner and connecting the two industrial cameras with the computer; b, using the industrial cameras to collect image data, and transmitting the image data to the computer; c, carrying out 
processing and calculation on the image data, and obtaining optical characteristic relations of the cameras; d, correcting image 
distortion based on the optical characteristic relations of the cameras; e, utilizing a 
dynamic programming algorithm to match two images obtained by shooting; f, converting points of a panoramic image in a 
cylindrical coordinate system into points in a three-dimensional coordinate 
system; and g, drawing a three-dimensional scene to be reconstructed. The three-dimensional reconstruction system and 
reconstruction method have the advantages that the structure is simple, the operation speed is high, and the system and the method are applicable to the reconstruction of a large-range scene.
