The invention relates to a pointer type pressure gauge intelligent verification system and method. The intelligent verification system comprises an image acquisition unit, a knocking mechanism, a moving mechanism, a control unit, an automatic pressure regulating unit and a data processing and analyzing unit. The intelligent verification method comprises the steps of enabling a verifier to log in averification system, and initializing the system; manually loading the meter; turning on an industrial camera and a light source; boosting fixed-point detection; performing pressure reduction fixed-point detection; carrying out uninterrupted boost and buck detection; and outputting verification result. According to the invention, machine vision and image processing technologies are adopted, automatic reading of ID numbers, precision, units and full-scale values of the dial plate of the pressure gauge is realized, effective management, query, export and the like of a pressure gauge template, verification authority and a verification result are realized at the same time, and a basis is provided for subsequent tracking and management of products. Automatic control over a fixed-point pressurevalue is completed through the proportional control valve and the PLC, automation of the calibration process is achieved, and a rapid, accurate and reliable calibration method is provided for pointertype instrument calibration.
