Abstract

In order to solve the technical problems that traditional liquid level gauges will fail when the liquid temperature is lower than -40°C, have limited measurement range, are complex to operate, and are prone to aging, the present invention provides a liquid level measurement system and method based on monocular vision. Three fixed-position lasers are fixed around the camera and hit the laser beam on the liquid surface. Through a series of algorithms for processing the liquid surface image, the center of mass of the light spot on the liquid surface is extracted. Finally, the internal parameters of the camera and the extracted The pixel coordinates of the light spot centroid complete the liquid level measurement of the final liquid level. The working temperature range of the invention is not limited and can be as low as -100°C. At the same time, the measurement range is flexible and can reach tens to hundreds of meters, far exceeding the traditional liquid level meter. The measurement error can be controlled within 1%, which can meet the accuracy requirements. , and also has the advantages of low cost and simple operation.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of image information, and relates to a liquid level measurement system and method based on monocular vision, which are used for real-time and accurate measurement of the liquid level in a storage tank. Background technique [0002] At present, the liquid level measurement of the liquid level is based on the liquid level gauge. The traditional liquid level gauge can only work in the working environment above -40°C. When the liquid temperature is lower than -40°C, the liquid level gauge will fail. The measurement range of the level gauge is up to 30m, and the measurement range is limited; in addition, the traditional level gauge also has problems such as high price, many parameters need to be set for the instrument, complicated operation, and easy aging. Contents of the invention [0003] In order to solve the technical problems that the traditional liquid level gauge will fail when the liquid temperature is...
