The invention discloses a ship-borne panoramic
video stitching method based on multiple distributed cameras, and relates to the technical field of ship intelligent navigation and computer
machine vision, a plurality of network cameras are respectively deployed on a bow, a
stern, a left board and a right board of a ship body, multiple paths of video streams are collected in real time through an RTSP protocol, and decoding and frame synchronous caching are carried out; dark channel defogging, image
sharpening, OTSU binaryzation, Canny
edge detection and edge refining
processing are sequentially carried out on each path of video
stream. A distributed ordinary
network camera architecture is adopted, deployment is performed on the bow, the
stern, the left side and the right side of the ship body, the existing installation space and conventional network equipment of the ship are fully utilized, a special panoramic camera does not need to be customized, unified access of video streams is achieved through an RTSP protocol,
software splicing is completed through an
edge computing server, and the whole process is simplified. Hardware purchase and transformation cost is remarkably reduced, a
distributed structure supports modular extension and maintenance, overall operation of the
system is not affected by faults of a
single camera, and the
system has high
cost performance and
maintainability.
