[0036] In order to make the contents of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below based on specific embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, a method for establishing a three-dimensional model of an industrial chimney comprises:

[0038] Step S1, multiple anchor points are set around the industrial chimney 4, and the anchor points cannot have any settlement or displacement; multiple target points are set on the outer peripheral wall of the industrial chimney 4;

[0039] Step S2, obtaining photos of the industrial chimney 4 taken at a plurality of preset camera positions by the bottom camera device 7 during the rotation along the bottom rotation trajectory and by the top camera device 3 during the rotation along the top rotation trajectory; wherein,

[0040] The bottom camera 7 photographs the upper half of the industrial chimney 4; the top camera 3 photographs the lower half of the industrial chimney 4; the target points in the photos taken by the bottom camera 7 and the top camera 3 at adjacent preset camera positions overlap in the circumferential direction of the industrial chimney 4, and the target points in the photos taken at the same preset camera position overlap in the vertical direction of the industrial chimney 4, and three anchor points of different lines are photographed at each preset camera position;

[0041] Step S3, based on the coordinates of the three non-collinear anchor points in each photo, restore the three-dimensional fixed coordinate system, determine the coordinates of each target point in each photo in the three-dimensional fixed coordinate system, and for the target point that appears in at least two photos, take the average value of the coordinates in each photo;

[0042] Step S4, identifying whether there are cracks in the photo; if there are cracks, determining the coordinates of the pixels where the cracks are located in the photo; based on the coordinates of the pixels where the cracks are located, adding the cracks to the three-dimensional model and / or calculating the size of the cracks;

[0043] Step S5, building a three-dimensional model of the industrial chimney 4 according to the coordinates of each target point, and if there are cracks, adding the cracks to the three-dimensional model.

[0044] In one embodiment, Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the method of setting the target points on the outer peripheral wall of the industrial chimney 4 is: a circle of target points is set at a certain height, with a total of N circles, each circle has multiple target points, and the four target points in the i-th circle from bottom to top are target points Ai, Bi, Ci, Di;

[0045] There are four preset camera positions, which are camera position 1, camera position 2, camera position 3 and camera position 4 along the periphery of the industrial chimney 4;

[0046] The bottom shooting device 7 and the top shooting device 3 respectively photograph the target points Ai and Di at the No. 1 camera position; photograph the target points Ai and Bi at the No. 2 camera position; photograph the target points Bi and Ci at the No. 3 camera position; and photograph the target points Ci and Di at the No. 4 camera position. In the photos taken by the bottom shooting device 7, the value of i includes 1~L, and in the photos taken by the top shooting device 3, the value of i includes L~N.

[0047] Among them, Figure 3 In the example shown, L=5 and N=9.

[0048] In step S3, when calculating the target coordinates, taking target A2 as an example, the No. 1 and No. 2 cameras of the bottom camera device 7 can simultaneously capture target A2 and calculate its coordinate values. Then the coordinate value of A2 is the average value of the two. Taking target A5 as an example, the No. 1 and No. 2 cameras of the bottom camera device 7 can simultaneously capture target A5 and calculate its coordinate values, and the No. 1 and No. 2 cameras of the top camera device 3 can also simultaneously capture target A5 and calculate its coordinate values, then the coordinate value of A5 is the average value of the four.

[0049] Among them, at least six anchor points are set, which can be 6, 7, 8, etc. Under the premise of ensuring that there are three anchor points of different lines in each photo, the fewer the number of anchor points, the better. Preferably, the photos taken by the bottom camera device 7 and the top camera device 3 at the same camera position have a common anchor point, and the photos taken at adjacent camera positions also have a common anchor point.

The bottom shooting device 7 is installed on the bottom interlocking driving mechanism 6 and rotates along the bottom rotation track during the movement of the bottom interlocking driving mechanism 6. The bottom shooting device 7 is used to shoot the lower half of the industrial chimney 4 and the preset anchor point at a preset camera position during the rotation along the bottom rotation track.

[0053] The cloud data processing platform is connected to the top shooting device 3 and the bottom shooting device 7 respectively, and is used to infer the target point coordinates through the anchor point coordinates in each photo, and capture the crack related data, and establish a three-dimensional model of the industrial chimney according to the target point coordinates.

[0054] Among them, if a crack appears in the picture, the gimbal can identify the pixel points at both ends of the crack from the pixels, and then measure the length of the crack; if the crack is wider, the gimbal can identify the pixel points on both sides of the crack and then measure the width of the crack.

[0055] Among them, the bottom shooting device 7 and the top shooting device 3 can both be video cameras, cameras, etc.

[0056] In one embodiment, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the top engaging drive mechanism 2 includes a track engaging power mechanism 21 and a cantilever rod 22.
