  • Patent number: 12729995
    Abstract: An infrared vision positioning method for concrete pumping liquid level in tube of steel tubular arch bridge is provided. In this method, the perspective geometry algorithm is used to construct the pose transformation matrix to obtain the relative pose between the camera and the arch bridge steel pipe, the image is transformed into orthography by perspective transformation, and the real coordinates of the liquid level in the infrared image can be directly solved by the scale, so as to realize the accurate positioning of the liquid level; the proposed method is simple in structure and can realize real-time operation, which greatly improves the calculation efficiency of coordinates in infrared images, compared with the conventional knocking method, the advantage is that it does not require staff in an overhead operating, and the feedback of the liquid level position can be faster and more efficient.
