[0030] The implementation principle of the embodiment of the utility model is:

[0031] Step 1: Build the visual system module: In order to obtain accurate size information, install the upper visual system module 4 and the diagonal visual system module 6 in sequence, adjust the position of the upper visual system module 4 so that the receiving end of the upper visual system module 4 is aligned with the top of the stone 23; adjust the distance and angle between the diagonal visual system module 6 and the stone 23 in three directions of space by adjusting the bracket 5, align the receiving end of the diagonal visual system module 6 with the corner of the stone 23, adjust the output angle of the light source 15 according to the position of the stone 23 and the upper visual system module 4 and the diagonal visual system module 6, and build a suitable visual light source;

[0032] Step 2: Camera calibration: The image information of the stone 23 is obtained mainly from three directions, namely, the upper visual camera 24 faces the top of the stone 23, and the diagonal visual camera 13 shoots and collects data from the diagonal side elevation of the stone 23. The corresponding camera calibration is performed at the shooting positions of the upper visual camera 24 and the diagonal visual camera 13. When the stone 23 is transported to the set shooting position, the upper visual camera 24 and the diagonal visual camera 13 shoot and collect data at the same time;

[0033] Step 3: Length, width and thickness measurement: For the length and width measurement, the upper visual system module 4 is mainly used to cover the entire upper surface area of ​​the stone 23 with the upper visual camera 24 and to capture and collect complete upper surface information of the stone 23. The data information is transmitted to the control console 22 and the length and width of the four edges of the upper surface of the stone 23 are calculated and compared through the information processing module. The stone 23 that does not meet the length and width accuracy requirements is recorded and reminded;

[0034] The thickness is measured mainly by using the diagonal vision system module 6. With the assistance of the light source 15, the diagonal vision camera 13 faces the diagonal side edge of the stone 23, and shoots and collects data on the diagonal side surface of the stone 23. For the stacked stones 23 that have been cut, in order to complete the thickness measurement of each layer of stone 23, the data information is transmitted to the control console 22 and the information processing module is used to extract and separate the feature points of the shot image, and the segmented image is subjected to image fitting and edge extraction algorithms to calculate the image pixel width, that is, the thickness of a single layer of stone 23. The thickness of the single layer of stone 23 is compared with the calibrated value. If there is any inconsistency, it proves that the thickness of the stone 23 is uneven. The number of layers of the single layer of stone 23 that does not meet the thickness requirements is recorded and reminded.

[0035] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present utility model. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present utility model should be included in the protection scope of the present utility model.
