For example, in medicine, this technology is used in corneal measurement, cataract surgery, particle image velocimetry, line structured light, and laser triangulation. In deformation monitoring, tilt-shift vision multi-point bridge measurement technology has achieved full-span displacement monitoring. Furthermore, combined with stereo digital image correlation technology, tilt-shift cameras have also been successfully applied to full-field three-dimensional deformation measurement. Tilt-shift vision technology opens up new possibilities for multi-point displacement measurement of engineering structures, demonstrating significant advantages in monitoring complex engineering structures at great depth.

[0003] However, combining tilt-shift cameras with UAV technology to form a UAV tilt-shift camera monitoring system for high-precision monitoring of multi-point displacements of engineering structures still faces many challenges. Among them, ensuring clear imaging of the airborne tilt-shift camera is one of the key difficulties. Currently, most tilt-shift cameras are mainly used on ground platforms, and their imaging parameters can be optimized through manual adjustment. However, on UAV platforms, the function of automatically adjusting the parameters of tilt-shift cameras is not yet mature, and multiple flight tests are usually required to determine the optimal configuration, which not only reduces operational efficiency but also increases technical complexity. Therefore, studying a UAV monocular tilt-shift vision imaging calibration method to ensure clear imaging of measuring points along the bridge structure by pre-calibrating the imaging parameters of the tilt-shift camera has important research significance and practical application value in solving the above problems.
