The invention discloses a
drill rod joint outdoor positioning method for linear
laser-assisted imaging, and belongs to the technical field of iron
roughneck equipment on
petroleum and geological drilling platforms. Comprising the following steps: acquiring a
drill rod image through an imaging
system, preprocessing the acquired image, performing template training based on the preprocessed image, extracting a feature template of a
laser broken line at a
drill rod joint, defining a similarity threshold value, performing
feature matching on the image acquired in real time and the feature template, and if the similarity reaches the threshold value, identifying the drill rod joint. And calculating the height coordinate of the central point, and outputting the height coordinate to an iron
roughneck control system to guide the clamp body to automatically position and clamp. According to the invention, through the linear
laser-assisted imaging and narrow-band filtering technology, outdoor illumination fluctuation and complex background interference are overcome, high-precision automatic identification and positioning of the drill rod joint at a long distance are realized, the
automation level, positioning efficiency and safety of iron
roughneck operation are greatly improved, and the
system has the advantages of low cost and easy integration.
