Improved ORB Algorithm Based on Binocular Vision

In digital image processing, feature extraction is a very important step, and ORB algorithm is the best one in real-time performance, but it is not up to the standard in the system with higher real-time requirements. Through binocular vision calibration, we will delve into how to speed up the operation of ORB algorithm with ensuring accuracy. First, the overlapping regions of the left and right images are extracted, and then the images are subjected to morphological operations, and corner detection is performed at the edges. Secondly, the original description method is improved, and the description sub-selects the window value based on the area ring, which is more in line with the characteristics of the human eye and improves the operation speed. Then, a hierarchical matching strategy is adopted, combined with binocular visual constraints, the matching range is defined, and the accuracy is effectively improved. Finally, construct an experimental platform to process two images and compare them with existing algorithms. The experimental results show that the proposed method has much less computational time consumption than the original algorithm under the condition of improved accuracy, and is suitable for fast matching environment.
