A Stereo Matching Method for 3D Image Measurement of Long-Distance Sea Surface

Resumen

Tsunamis are some of the most destructive natural disasters. Some proposed tsunami measurement and arrival prediction systems use a limited number of instruments, then judge the occurrence of the tsunami, forecast its arrival time, location and scale. Since there are a limited number of measurement instruments, there is a possibility that large prediction errors will occur. In order to solve this problem, a long-distance tsunami measurement system based on the binocular stereo vision principle is proposed in this paper. The measuring range is 4?20 km away from the system deployment site. In this paper, we will focus on describing the stereo matching method for the proposed system. This paper proposes a two-step matching method. It first performs fast sparse matching, and then complete high precision dense matching based on the results of the sparse matching. A matching descriptor based on the physical features of sea waves is proposed to solve the matching difficulty caused by the similarity of sea surface image textures. The relationship between disparity and the y coordinate is built to reduce the matching search range. Experiments were conducted on sea surface images with different shooting times and distances; the results verify the effectiveness of the presented method.
