A positioning method and device based on binocular vision

The invention discloses a positioning method and device based on binocular vision, and relates to the technical field of image processing. The method comprises the following steps; Collecting a left view and a right view of the scene; Respectively carrying out significance calculation on the left view and the right view to obtain a visible light significance map corresponding to the left view anda near infrared significance map corresponding to the right view; Respectively carrying out significance mean value comparison on the visible light significance map and the near infrared significancemap, and determining to-be-positioned areas in the left view and the right view according to a comparison result; Matching the to-be-positioned area of the left view with the to-be-positioned area ofthe right view so as to determine a target area in the left view and the right view; And carrying out parallax calculation on the target area to determine the position of the target area. According tothe positioning method and
