[0002] Laser range finder, it is the instrument that utilizes modulated laser's certain parameter to realize the distance measurement of target. According to ranging method, it is divided into phase method range finder and pulse method range finder, and pulse laser range finder is in work when it emits a beam or a sequence of short-lived pulse laser beam to target, and the laser beam that is reflected by photoelectric element target is received, and the time that laser beam is from emission to reception is measured by timer, and the distance from observer to target is calculated. Phase method laser range finder is to utilize the phase difference that occurs when detecting emission light and reflected light propagates in space to detect distance.
[0003] Visual SLAM, also called VSLAM, refers to the real-time positioning and map construction technology for mapping and positioning by using visual sensor. The commonly used visual sensor is camera, of course, there are many classifications of camera, such as monocular camera, binocular camera, depth camera and the like. This kind of camera is collectively referred to as visual sensor. After obtaining sensor data, a preprocessing process is carried out, and then the front end carries out feature extraction and feature tracking on sensor data to obtain a mileage estimation information, and the calculation of three-dimensional space displacement is realized.
[0004] At present, in three-dimensional space measurement work, laser range finder is generally used for manual measurement, in order to make up for the limitation that laser range finder can only obtain one type of data, total station, laser scanner and other equipment are used. But the hardware cost of total station is high, and the equipment is inconvenient to carry. Laser scanner has data redundancy and low subsequent data efficiency. If you want to collect different types of data, you need to use multiple devices that can collect single data type, such as laser range finder, gyroscope, binocular camera, etc. After collecting single data by using the equipment in turn, the data in different devices is exported, and the alignment and correction of different types of data are carried out on the computer software. The time cost is high, the operation is complex, and a kind of monitoring equipment integrated with multiple functions, convenient to carry and low in cost is urgently needed to solve these problems.

[0008] The input end of the controller is electrically connected with the laser ranging module, the inertial navigation module and the binocular camera, and the output end of the controller is electrically connected with the storage module and the communication module.
[0009] The basic principle of the scheme is that the controller stores the distance information, the spatial positioning information and the three-dimensional information obtained by the binocular camera, the laser ranging module and the inertial navigation module, and can obtain the three types of data simultaneously within a collection time. When the collection is completed, the three types of data are transmitted to the outside through the communication module, and the acquisition of the three types of data can be completed through one collection and one transmission.
[0010] The beneficial effects of the scheme are that the existing ranging work has obstacles between the measured objects, which makes it impossible to directly measure the distance between them, and multiple measurements are required. In this process, the workers need to move the total station and the laser scanner and other equipment back and forth, which not only causes measurement errors, but also is inconvenient to move and has high labor intensity. The use of small single collection equipment can only collect a single type of data at a time, and then import it into the external computer software, which is time-consuming and complex. The combination of the handheld laser range finder, the inertial navigation module and the binocular camera in the scheme realizes the replacement of the bracket + laser range finder measurement mode, and the target location can be collected once to obtain three types of data at the same time. After the collection is completed, the data can be exported once, which reduces the hardware cost of the measurement work and improves the portability and terrain adaptability of the equipment.
