Optimal pulse width modulation for sinusoidal fringe generation with projector defocusing

Recently, a study showed that generating sinusoidal fringe patterns by properly defocusing binary ones can significantly simplify three-dimensional shape measurement system development and drastically improve its speed. However, when the fringe stripes are very wide, it is very difficult for this technique to achieve high-quality measurement. This Letter presents a method to improve this technique by selectively eliminating high-frequency harmonics induced by a squared binary pattern. As a result, better sinusoidal fringe patterns can be generated with a small degree of defocusing even for wide fringe stripes. Simulation and experiments will be presented to verify the performance of this proposed technique.     

Optimized dithering technique in frequency domain for high-quality three-dimensional depth data acquisition

On the basis of the objective functions, dithering optimization techniques can be divided into the intensity-based optimization technique and the phase-based optimization technique. However, both types of techniques are spatial-domain optimization techniques, while their measurement performances are essentially determined by the harmonic components in the frequency domain. In this paper, a novel genetic optimization technique in the frequency domain is proposed for highquality fringe generation. In addition, to handle the time-consuming difficulty of genetic algorithm(GA), we first optimize a binary patch, then join the optimal binary patches together according to periodicity and symmetry so as to generate a full-size pattern. It is verified that the proposed technique can significantly enhance the measured performance and ensure the robustness to various amounts of defocusing.     

基于傅里叶频谱分析的相位测量轮廓术系统Gamma非线性校正方法

数字投影和成像系统的Gamma非线性效应是导致相位测量轮廓术（PMP）测量误差的重要原因。目前大多采用多帧条纹图进行Gamma校正,使测量的实时性受到限制。提出了一种Gamma校正方法,利用正交光栅像的傅里叶频谱分布计算Gamma值,再根据此Gamma值对投影相移条纹进行Gamma逆变换,实现投影条纹输入值的提前校正,以获取具有良好正弦性的结构条纹,从而降低PMP相位测量误差。校正过程中只需一帧条纹图,而且考虑了测量系统的离焦效应。实验证实了该方法的有效性和正确性。     

Superfast 3D absolute shape measurement using five binary patterns

This paper presents a method that recovers high-quality 3D absolute coordinates point by point with only five binary patterns. Specifically, three dense binary dithered patterns are used to compute the wrapped phase; and the average intensity is combined with two additional binary patterns to determine fringe order pixel by pixel in phase domain. The wrapped phase is temporarily unwrapped point by point by referring to the fringe order. We further developed a computational framework to reduce random noise impact due to dithering, defocusing and random noise. Since only five binary fringe patterns are required to recover one 3D frame, extremely high speed 3D shape measurement can be achieved. For example, we developed a system that captures 2D images at 3333 Hz, and thus performs 3D shape measurement at 667 Hz.     

Lens distortion elimination for improving measurement accuracy of fringe projection profilometry

Fringe projection profilometry (FPP) is a powerful method for three-dimensional (3D) shape measurement. However, the measurement accuracy of the existing FPP is often hindered by the distortion of the lens used in FPP. In this paper, a simple and efficient method is presented to overcome this problem. First, the FPP system is calibrated as a stereovision system. Then, the camera lens distortion is eliminated by correcting the captured images. For the projector lens distortion, distorted fringe patterns are generated according to the lens distortion model. With these distorted fringe patterns, the projector can project undistorted fringe patterns, which means that the projector lens distortion is eliminated. Experimental results show that the proposed method can successfully eliminate the lens distortions of FPP and therefore improves its measurement accuracy.     

Three-dimensional profilometry with nearly focused binary phase-shifting algorithms

This Letter investigates the effects of different phase-shifting algorithms on the quality of high-resolution three-dimensional (3-D) profilometry produced with nearly focused binary patterns. From theoretical analyses, simulations, and experiments, we found that the nine-step phase-shifting algorithm produces accurate 3-D measurements at high speed without the limited depth range and calibration difficulties that typically plague binary defocusing methods. We also found that the use of more fringe patterns does not necessarily enhance measurement quality.     

Analysis of phase distortion in phase-shifted fringe projection

This paper describes the analysis of phase distortion in phase-shifted fringe projection method. A phase distortion occurs when the phase shifting technique is applied to extract the phase values from projected fringe patterns in surface contouring. The phase distortion will induce measurement errors especially in the measurement of micro-components. The cause of such phase distortion is investigated and the influence of phase distortion on the measurement of micro-components is discussed. To eliminate the phase distortion, a continuous wavelet transform (CWT) is employed to extract phase values from object surface modulated fringe patterns. Principle of the proposed CWT phase extraction method is described and experiments are conducted to verify the proposed method. It is shown that by the use of CWT phase extraction method phase distortion induced in conventional phase-shifting technique can be completely eliminated.     

Multi-parameter measuring method of image intensifier based on Fourier transform phase measurement

A new quality parameter measuring method of image intensifier based on Fourier transform phase measurement is proposed. A standard sinusoidal fringe pattern is projected into the measuring system by spatial light modulator and the corresponding reference pattern and deformed pattern are captured by CCD. The Fourier transform and inverse Fourier transform are applied in order to extract the phase distribution of deformed pattern. The magnification, pillow-shaped distortion, barrel-shaped distortion, snake-shaped distortion and shear distortion of image intensifier are obtained at the same time. Experiment has proved its feasibility with real-time performance and without manual intervention.     

Gamma-distorted fringe image modeling and accurate gamma correction for fast phase measuring profilometry

In fast phase-measuring profilometry, phase error caused by gamma distortion is the dominant error source. Previous phase-error compensation or gamma correction methods require the projector to be focused for best performance. However, in practice, as digital projectors are built with large apertures, they cannot project ideal focused fringe images. In this Letter, a thorough theoretical model of the gamma-distorted fringe image is derived from an optical perspective, and a highly accurate and easy to implement gamma correction method is presented to reduce the obstinate phase error. With the proposed method, high measuring accuracy can be achieved with the conventional three-step phase-shifting algorithm. The validity of the technique is verified by experiments.

Spatial solitons in photonic lattices with large-scale defects

We address the existence,stability and propagation dynamics of solitons supported by large-scale defects surrounded by the harmonic photonic lattices imprinted in the defocusing saturable nonlinear medium.Several families of soliton solutions,including flat-topped,dipole-like,and multipole-like solitons,can be supported by the defected lattices with different heights of defects.The width of existence domain of solitons is determined solely by the saturable parameter.The existence domains of various types of solitons can be shifted by the variations of defect size,lattice depth and soliton order.Solitons in the model are stable in a wide parameter window,provided that the propagation constant exceeds a critical value,which is in sharp contrast to the case where the soliton trains is supported by periodic lattices imprinted in defocusing saturable nonlinear medium.We also find stable solitons in the semi-infinite gap which rarely occur in the defocusing media.

Calibration method for fringe projection profilometry with a binary defocusing technique

A novel and simple calibration method for fringe projection profilometry with a binary defocusing technique is proposed and verified by experiments. This paper theoretically presents the principle that the one-to-one mapping servers as spatially invariant to environment in the phase domain when the projector is defocused. In terms of this principle, only two reference planes are introduced in the volume of projector defocusing (the measured volume) to specify one constraint, i.e., the emitted light beams, which are determined by the sub-pixel homologous pairs from the measured object to the reference planes in the phase domain. The nonlinear camera model is utilized to define the other constraint, i.e., the reflected light beams. Then, combining these two constraints will calibrate the 3D information of the measured object. It is pointed out that the proposed method does not require the calibration of the projector. Experiments demonstrate the performance of our proposed approach: the measurement accuracy can reach about 0.0916 mm with the binary defocusing technique.
