This invention discloses a method and apparatus for 3D reconstruction and sag calculation of conductors based on
monocular vision. The method includes: S1, fixing a calibrated
monocular camera to a
tower; S2, acquiring necessary
tower structural parameters; S3, establishing a 3D
tower coordinate
system and calibrating the camera's extrinsic parameters; S4, determining the 3D coordinates of the terminal block in the tower coordinate
system, constructing the plane containing the conductor, and transforming this plane to the camera coordinate
system; S5, marking a visible feature point on the conductor, performing
distortion correction on the feature point, and generating a projection
ray; S6, solving for the intersection point between the projection
ray and the plane containing the conductor; S7, transforming the 3D coordinates of the intersection point back to the tower coordinate system; S8, fitting the spatial morphology of the conductor using a quadratic curve; and S9, calculating the
conductor sag value. The method includes a
monocular camera module, a parameter acquisition module, a coordinate
system construction module, a plane construction and
ray intersection module, a 3D reconstruction module, a sag calculation module, and a communication module. This method does not rely on complex binocular or multi-view vision systems, has advantages such as low cost and ease of deployment, and is suitable for long-term online monitoring and
maintenance management of power systems.
