The invention discloses a
line structure cursor positioning method based on a chessboard target, which comprises the following steps: calibrating a camera to obtain a
distortion coefficient D of an internal parameter matrix of the camera, a
rotation matrix Rcw of external parameters of the camera and a translation vector Tcw; eliminating camera
distortion of the obtained light bar image; extracting a
characteristic point Q' of the light bar center on the image from which the camera
distortion is removed, and obtaining a homogeneous coordinate (u,v,1)-1 of the point under a pixel coordinate
system; calculating the coordinates of a projection point Q" of the Q projected on a normalized
image plane under the camera coordinate
system according to the coordinates (u,v,1)-1 of the characteristicpoint Q' under the pixel coordinate
system; connecting two points between the projection point Q" and the original point into a straight line to obtain a straight line equation under the camera coordinate system; calculating the coordinates of the
characteristic point Q under the camera coordinate system by using simultaneous
plane equation and linear equation: obtaining coordinates of all characteristic points on the light bar under the camera coordinate system; and fitting the light
plane equation by using the obtained
characteristic point coordinates. According to the method, all the characteristic points on the light bar can be extracted at the same time, and all the characteristic points on the light bar are calibrated.
