This invention discloses an
infrared positioning system, including an electronic tag, a camera
base station, and a processor. The camera
base station includes a first camera, a second camera, and a filtering device. The filtering device includes a switching component and a
narrowband filter. The
narrowband filter and the switching component are connected and can move under the action of the switching component. The electronic tag is used to periodically radiate
infrared encoded information. The first camera is used to capture a first visible light image. The second camera is used to capture a second visible light image when the
narrowband filter is located to one side of the second camera, and to capture an
infrared image when the narrowband filter is in front of it, so as to capture a target carrying an electronic tag. The processor is used to obtain the mapping relationship between the pixel position coordinates of the
infrared image and the first visible light image, and to process the
infrared image to obtain the center pixel coordinates of the target and the number of the carried electronic tag, thereby obtaining the position of the target according to the mapping relationship and the center pixel coordinates of the target.
