Abstract
The research and development of an intelligent magnetic levitation transportation system has become an important research branch of the current intelligent transportation system (ITS), which can provide technical support for state-of-the-art fields such as intelligent magnetic levitation digital twin. First, we applied unmanned aerial vehicle oblique photography technology to acquire the magnetic levitation track image data and preprocessed them. Then, we extracted the image features and matched them based on the incremental structure from motion (SFM) algorithm, recovered the camera pose parameters of the image data and the 3D scene structure information of key points, and optimized the bundle adjustment to output 3D magnetic levitation sparse point clouds. Then, we applied multiview stereo (MVS) vision technology to estimate the depth map and normal map information. Finally, we extracted the output of the dense point clouds that can precisely express the physical structure of the magnetic levitation track, such as turnout, turning, linear structures, etc. By comparing the dense point clouds model with the traditional building information model, experiments verified that the magnetic levitation image 3D reconstruction system based on the incremental SFM and MVS algorithm has strong robustness and accuracy and can express a variety of physical structures of magnetic levitation track with high accuracy.
