The invention provides a low-calculation-requirement 3D
image processing method and
system. The method specifically comprises the steps that collected left-eye and right-eye images and
image display and calibration information actually to be obtained are obtained; constructing a coordinate
transformation matrix, and performing translation zooming
processing on the
left eye image and the right eye image; constructing a common internal reference matrix of the left-eye camera and the right-eye camera, performing epipolar correction on coordinates of the left-eye image and the right-eye image after translation and zooming, and performing
distortion correction on the coordinates of the left-eye image and the right-eye image after epipolar correction; performing first interpolation to obtain displayable left and right eye images; calculating left and right disparity maps based on the interpolated left and right eye images, and calculating a
depth map based on the left and right disparity maps to obtain depth information; reconstructing a 3D
point cloud based on the depth information and the left and right eye image coordinates after
distortion correction; and rotating the 3D
point cloud, regenerating left-eye and right-eye 2D image coordinates, performing second interpolation, and finally outputting the image. The method has the advantages of high precision and
low delay.
