A pyramid angle detection method of helicopter rotor blade based on binocular vision was proposed. Firstly, camera internal and external parameters were obtained by 2D plane calibration algorithm on the binocular vision system. Secondly, stereo image pairs of different blade were acquired and Bouguet’s stereo rectification algorithm was used to rectify them for reprojection matrix. Then, the marked points in stereo image pairs were extracted and matched to obtain the parallax. Finally, the heights of blade tips from the ground were calculated according to the principle of binocular vision measurement, and therefore the blade pyramid angle was detected. The results of the multiple measurement tests on rotor tower show that the method has the advantages of dynamic measurement, non-contact detection, easy operation, less risk and high precision.
