To address the bottlenecks of traditional jaw crusher liner wear detection—high safety risks, insufficient precision, and limited full-range analysis—this paper proposes a non-contact, high-precision wear analysis method based on binocular vision and deep learning. At its core is the integration of the state-of-the-art FoundationStereo zero-shot stereo matching algorithm, following scenario-specific adaptations, into the 3D reconstruction of industrial liners for wear analysis. A novel wear quantification methodology and corresponding indicator system are also proposed. After calibrating the ZED2 binocular camera and fine-tuning the algorithm, FoundationStereo achieves an Endpoint Error (EPE) of 0.09, significantly outperforming traditional algorithms. To meet on-site efficiency requirements, a “single-view rapid acquisition + CUDA engineering acceleration” strategy is implemented, reducing point cloud generation latency from 165 ms to 120 ms by rewriting kernel functions and optimizing memory access patterns. Geometric accuracy verification shows a Mean Absolute Error (MAE) ≤ 0.128 mm, fully meeting industrial measurement standards. A complete process of “3D reconstruction–model registration–quantitative analysis” is constructed, utilizing three core indicators (maximum wear depth, average wear depth, and wear area ratio) to characterize liner wear. Statistical results—such as an average maximum wear depth of 55.05 mm—are highly consistent with manual inspection data, providing a safe, efficient, and precise digital solution for the predictive maintenance and intelligent operation and maintenance (O&M) of liners.
