The invention discloses a Kinect-based augmented reality three-dimensional registration method, which adopts a depth image restoration method fusing the RGB-D information to solve the calibration and the image alignment errors caused by the holes, jitter, edge instability and other problems in a depth image, and provides guarantee for the accuracy of the subsequent three-dimensional registration. A close-range mode automatic judgment method based on a depth histogram is adopted, and in a non-close-range mode, a three-dimensional registration method based on Fast ICP is adopted to calculate the pose of the camera; in the close-range mode, the pose of a camera is calculated by using a three-dimensional registration method of fusing Fast ICP (fast iterative closest point) and ORB (oriented fast and rotated brief), so that the problem of registration failure caused by the hardware limitation is solved, and an accurate and stable three-dimensional registration result can be obtained no matter in a non-close-range mode or a close-range mode. The method is low in algorithm complexity, is easy to understand and implement, is not affected by the illumination and the complex scenes, meets the real-time requirements of an augmented reality system, and can solve a mutual shielding problem.
