Binocular ranging method based on improved YOLOv8 and GMM image point set matching
Addressing the research needs for unmanned tower crane systems,a binocular ranging method was proposed,based on the improved YOLOv8 and GMM image point set matching to detect and recognize the hooks of tower cranes in the outdoor environment of the driver's cab and measure the distance.Image acquisition was performed through binocular cameras,and the FasterNet backbone network and Slim-neck connection layer was introduced to improve the YOLOv8 target detection algorithm,thereby effectively detecting the hooks of tower cranes in the image and obtaining the two-dimensional coordinate information of the detection box.The local sensitive hashing method was employed,and a phased matching strategy was integrated to improve the matching efficiency of the GMM image point set matching model,performing feature point matching for the hooks of tower cranes in the detection box.Finally,the depth information of the tower crane hook was calculated through the principle of binocular camera triangulation.The experimental results demonstrated that compared to the original algorithm,the improved YOLOv8 algorithm had increased precision P by 2.9%,average precision AP50 by 2.2%,reduced model complexity by 10.01 GFLops,and reduced parameter quantity by 3.37 M.This achieved model light-weighting while enhancing detection accuracy.Compared with the original algorithm,the improved image point set matching algorithm exhibited better robustness in various indicators.Finally,the recognition and ranging of tower crane hooks were effectively completed within an acceptable margin of error at the engineering site,verifying the feasibility of this method.
