The invention provides a high-precision river surface flow velocity measuring device fusing LSPIV and an
optical flow method, which comprises an
image acquisition module, a preprocessing module, an LSPIV velocity measuring unit, an
optical flow method velocity measuring unit and a fusion output module, and is characterized in that the
image acquisition module is used for acquiring continuous video frames of a river surface and comprises a multispectral imaging unit and a
polarized light imaging unit; the
polarized light imaging unit generates 0-degree, 45-degree, 90-degree and 135-degree polarized images through a four-angle cross-polarization splitting
prism. According to the invention, through a multispectral and
polarization imaging technology, interference of water
surface reflection, low illumination and the like is effectively inhibited, the
contrast ratio of tracer particles and the background is improved, and the
image acquisition quality under complex conditions is ensured; the large-scale cross-correlation stability of the LSPIV and the sub-pixel displacement precision of the
optical flow method are fused, the weight is dynamically adjusted according to the tracer density, the flow velocity gradient and the environmental error, and the limitation of a single method in a sparse tracer or high flow velocity gradient scene is solved.
