The specific implementation mode of the method provided by the invention is as follows:
the first step is as follows: and moving the inspection robot to a prefabricated point position, and acquiring the current meter image in real time.

Therefore, when the pixel offset difference between the two images is smaller than the threshold value, the next focal distance is entered, the images are collected again, matching points in the collected images and the corresponding images in the template are extracted through an AKAZE feature matching method, invalid matching points are eliminated through a RANSAC algorithm, the pixel offset between the collected images and the current focal distance template is calculated based on the template matching algorithm, and the pixel offset is fed back to the robot adjusting holder until a high-definition image containing the dial plate under the final focal distance ((three different focal distances in total) is obtained.
The third step: matching according to characteristic points (such as sift and other characteristics) between a meter image acquired to a final focal length and a corresponding template (namely, under the final focal length, the acquired dial image is shot positively), then obtaining and calculating a transformation matrix (E (essential matrix) through the corresponding matching points, wherein the transformation matrix reflects the relation between the representation of image points of a space point P in a camera coordinate system under cameras with different visual angles), transforming the acquired image, and fitting a disc in the image into a circle through Hough transformation.
