Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of image processing and machine vision technology, and in particular to a machine vision calibration plate with multiple horizontal and vertical sine curves. Background Technology

[0002] Visual measurement technology is well adapted to the new standards and requirements of modern industry for the inspection of workpiece dimensions. It is a non-contact shape inspection method that combines accuracy and efficiency.

[0003] Checkerboard calibration targets are widely used for camera calibration in vision measurement imaging systems. The process typically involves taking multiple photographs of the calibration target in different poses using the vision measurement imaging system. By extracting and comparing the pixel coordinates of the corner points on the calibration target with the known world coordinates of those corner points, the internal and external parameters of the camera model of the vision measurement imaging system are determined, thus completing the calibration of the system. Therefore, the accuracy of the corner point extraction from the checkerboard calibration target directly affects the final calibration accuracy of the camera.

[0004] However, traditional chessboard calibration boards have a simple structure and rely solely on corner points for camera parameter estimation, making it difficult to achieve high-precision fitting in the presence of complex distortions. Utility Model Content

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model designs a machine vision calibration plate with multiple horizontal and vertical sine curves.

[0006] The present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A machine vision calibration board with multiple horizontal and vertical sine curves includes a rectangular substrate. The surface of the rectangular substrate is provided with a uniformly distributed checkerboard pattern. Multiple sine curves parallel to the horizontal and vertical directions are provided on the area of ​​the checkerboard pattern to form a gridded undulating feature line structure.

[0008] Preferably, concentric circle positioning marks are provided at the four corners of the rectangular substrate.

[0009] Preferably, the number of sine curves parallel to the horizontal and vertical directions is 3-6.

[0010] Preferably, the spacing between the plurality of sine curves parallel to the horizontal and vertical directions is uniform.

[0011] Preferably, the amplitude of the sine curve is 1-2 times the width of the checkerboard pattern, and the wavelength is 8-10 times the width of the checkerboard pattern.

[0012] The calibration method for this machine vision calibration board with multiple horizontal and vertical sine curves is as follows:

[0013] (1) Obtain image data of the calibration board in different poses;

[0014] (2) Extract the corner points of the chessboard, the peak and trough feature points on multiple sine curves, and the center of the four corners;

[0015] (3) Fit camera intrinsic and extrinsic parameters based on spatially distributed feature points;

[0016] (4) Complete the camera model establishment and distortion correction.

[0017] By introducing a sine curve as a feature line, this invention provides continuous curve features, which helps in modeling nonlinear distortion and viewpoint changes. Concentric circle positioning markers at the four corners are used to assist in rapid image positioning and orientation verification.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: (1) increasing the density of feature points and improving the fitting accuracy; (2) enhancing the image modeling capability through horizontal and vertical fluctuations; (3) improving the ease of operation and automatic recognition efficiency through concentric circle positioning marks; and (4) improving the stability of distortion parameter estimation in complex vision systems.
