A bridge crack measurement system based on binocular stereo vision technology was proposed considering the low efficiency, high cost and low precision of bridge cracks measurement at home and abroad. The system realized by using some binocular stereo vision methods like camera calibration, image matching and three dimensional coordinates reconstruction to calculate the width and the length of bridge cracks. The measured results by binocular vision and by monocular vision system under the same conditions were compared, which show that using the binocular vision measurement system made width relative error keep within 10% and length relative error keep within 1% steadily, while the results measured by monocular vision were changed widely in different angles with a maximum width relative error 19.41% and a maximum length relative error 54.35%. The bridge crack measurement system based on binocular stereo vision can be used in practical well with stronger robustness and higher precision.
