Abstract: A new binocular stereo vision locating system was designed for the guidance of the manipulator on a remotely operated vehicle(ROV). In order to adapt the complex underwater environment, a sealing structure for the camera, a method of underwater calibration and a new method of object locating based on front parallel plane transformation were designed. Experiment results show the accuracy and stability of the underwater locating system, the locating error of which can be kept within 3%.
Key words: remotely operated vehicle(ROV); underwater calibration; binocular stereo vision; locating; front parallel plane transformation
