description Abstract Based on the principle of light refraction and binocular ranging, the underwater imaging model is obtained. It provides a theoretical basis for underwater camera calibration. In order to meet the requirement of underwater vehicle to identify and distance underwater target, a new underwater vehicle distance measurement system based on semantic segmentation and binocular vision is proposed. The system uses Deeplabv3 + to identify the underwater target captured by the binocular camera and generate the target map, which is then used for binocular ranging. Compared with the binocular ranging using the original drawing, the measurement accuracy of the proposed method has not changed, the measurement speed is increased by 30%, and the error rate is controlled within 5%, which meets the needs of underwater robot operations.
