采用多投影器的反向条纹投影技术

提出运用多投影器同时投影的反向条纹投影技术。通过测量标准样品的绝对相位,为不同角度放置的投影器产生不同的反向条纹。检测时,投影器同时投影各自的反向条纹,若物体和样品一致,在摄像机上就得到一幅消除了阴影和截断的标准正弦条纹图,若物体有变形,仅用裸眼就能判断,用简单的傅里叶变换和相位展开就能定量地描述变形。对于复杂的不连续物体也只需获取一幅条纹图就能完成检测,在很大程度上解决了阴影及相位展开的问题,实现了该类物体的在线快速检测。阐述了该技术的原理,以双投影器的反向条纹投影为例,实验验证了提出方法的有效性,并进行了相应的误差分析和应用条件讨论。     

Grazing holographic projection of object-adapted fringes for shape measurements with enhanced sensitivity

A new method of fringe projection for shape measurement is presented. We use a combination of object-adapted fringes and holographic grazing projection to determine shape deviations of a turbine blade. If the shape of a test object is correct, a fringe grid with constant period is detected by the camera. The object-adapted fringes are projected coherently onto the master object, and a hologram is taken. If the hologram is reconstructed, grazing incidence of object-adapted fringes can be realized. Grazing holographic projection allows for higher triangulation angles and therefore increased sensitivity. Even small shape deviations can be detected and quantitatively evaluated with fast algorithms. The method can be extended to multiple exposed holograms to examine deep objects.     

Object adapted pattern projection—Part I: generation of inverse patterns

Fast and robust 3D inspection is of big importance for industrial quality control. Therefore, reliable optical techniques are needed that use as few images as possible for measurement. One promising technique for this aim is the inverse fringe projection which has the following advantages:The technique includes the information of a preceding measurement into the projected inverse pattern. Therefore, it is possible to do differential measurement using only one camera frame for each state. Because the camera takes images with user-defined patterns (e.g. fringes with constant frequency), one always has optimized patterns for sampling independently of the object shape. The hardware needs are as low as just a programmable projector and a standard camera.Till now the technique had drawbacks concerning the robust pattern generation and the quantitative (instead of only qualitative) evaluation of differential phases. In this paper, we concentrate our investigations on the robust pattern inversion. We show how the process can be simplified by separating the different inversion problems. Different methods and examples for generating the inverse pattern will be shown and compared to each other.     

Full field deformation measurement of centimeter sized objects using optical phase retrieval

Most papers in the field of optical phase retrieval either consider only the intensity (or amplitude) profile of the object under inspection (or scatterer location in the X-ray version), or a uniform tilt/rotation of the object beam. However, phase retrieval is able to recover the phase profile of the object (beam) as well, which theoretically makes the observable interference of phase retrieved object waves possible. In this paper we demonstrate this principle experimentally on centimeter sized deformable reflective objects (as large as 40 mm by 40 mm) and corresponding simulations are also presented. When the CCD camera is moved along the optical axis in the Fresnel region, the interference fringes of the displacement field have low contrast. On the other hand, when an imaging setup is built, and the camera moves near the image plane, high fringe contrast can be obtained. These fringes however suffer from some phase error. In our work the iterative modulus projection algorithm was used as a simply implementable phase retrieval method.     

Slope measurement by two-wavelength electronic shearography

A technique is presented for the slope measurement of objects using an electronic shearography system. To detect the gradients of an object shape, a laser diode is modulated to produce two wavelengths on successive image frames. These two frames are then subtracted to generate correlation fringes which depict slope variations of the object surface. The theory of this technique is described and measurements of conical, cylindrical, and spherical test objects are presented. Com parisons of experimental results with theoretical data are demonstrated to be in good agreement. The implementation of fringe analysis using phase stepping techniques is also discussed.     

Dynamic 3-D shape measurement method based on FTP

In this paper, we propose a method for dynamic three-dimensional (3-D) shape measurement based on Fourier transform profilometry. A sequence of dynamic deformed fringe images can be grabbed by a CCD camera and saved on a disk rapidly. By a Fourier transform, filtering and inverse Fourier transform, a sequence of phase-maps can be obtained. By unwrapping these phase maps in 3-D phase space, we can obtain the shape of the dynamic object at different times. In this paper we also propose the algorithm of a phase difference between two deformed fringes, and the 3-D phase unwrapping method based on the phase difference algorithm. The computer simulation and experiment results show that this method can efficiently deal with the dynamic 3-D shape measurement.     

A flexible 3D profilometry based on fringe contrast analysis

This paper proposed a flexible 3D profilometry based on fringe contrast analysis. A series of sinusoidal fringes are projected on the surface of the testing object that is laid in front of the imaging plane of the fringes, and captured through a beam splitter by a CCD camera in the same direction as the axis of the projection. After the fringe contrast obtained using phase-shifting technique, the height of the object can be restored through searching the look-up table of the contrast and the height. In the measurement process, we only need to capture fringe patterns in one position, without changing the imaging plane of the fringes, so it is faster and more convenient than the existing method based on fringe contrast analysis. Our system is simple and flexible by reason of no special devices used. In this paper, the principle of this method, the setup of the measurement system and primary experiment results are given. The experimental results prove this method can restore the height of the complex object accurately and effectively.     

Vibration Analysis by Phase Shifting Digital Holography

Phase-shifting digital holography has been used for the study of vibrating objects. The time-averaged complex amplitude of Fresnel diffracted field due to a vibrating object was obtained by using a three-step phase-shifting algorithm. Taking the inverse Fresnel transform of the complex amplitude resulted in an image of the object superimposed with Bessel fringes. The Bessel fringes are contour map of the vibration amplitude. By sinusoidally modulating the phase of the reference beam at the vibration frequency, the brightest fringe could be shifted to points of interest, thus extending the measurable range of vibration amplitude.     

Shifted-phase calibration for a 3-D shape measurement system based on orthogonal composite grating projection

This paper proposes a novel method for reducing measurement error caused by spectrum overlapping in orthogonal-composite-grating-based 3-D measurement method. For 3-D measurement systems based on orthogonal composite grating projection, spectrum overlapping causes phase of each deformed phase-shifting fringe changed differently, which violates the principle that the shifted phases between adjacent deformed fringes must be equivalent to 2π/3, and therefore results in phase measurement error. The proposed shifted-phase calibration method is based on that phase variation of each deformed fringe is independent of height and reflectivity of the measured object. Three composite gratings are projected on the reference plane, and each carrier channel includes three phase-shifting gratings needed in phase measuring profilometry (PMP). Because the adjacent phase-shifting fringes demodulated from the same carrier channel have the phase difference of 2π/3, we can respectively calculate the reference plane's phases of three carrier channels by the phase algorithm of PMP method, and the shifted phases between them are obtained. When an object is measured, the shifted phases between deformed phase-shifting fringes can be calibrated. A new 3-D measurement mathematical model is set to reconstruct object. Our experiments prove that the proposed method can effectively restrain the effect of spectrum overlapping and improve measurement accuracy almost one times.

傅里叶相位是光学综合孔径成像的重要信息,观测目标的傅里叶相位包含于干涉条纹中。从像平面干涉条纹形成原理出发,推导出大气扰动、星光方向与基线方向不垂直和望远镜系统机械误差等因素是影响干涉条纹初始相位的主要因素。利用条纹原点值和峰值位移从条纹中提取初始相位,采用闭合相位法从条纹初始相位中去除其它因素的影响,从而最终获取目标傅里叶相位：结合计算机模拟对噪声给条纹峰值位置的影响进行分析,模拟结果表明在频域中对条纹能量谱进行阈值处理有较好的去噪效果。最后结合目标重构迭代法阐述了闭合相位在像重构中的作用。     

Pulse-width modulation in defocused three-dimensional fringe projection

Shape measurements by fringe projection methods require high-quality sinusoidal fringes. We present a sinusoidal fringe generation technique that utilizes slightly defocused binary fringe projection. The proposed method is a spatial version of the well-known pulse-width modulation (PWM) technique of electrical engineering. PWM is easy to implement using off-the-shelf projectors, and it allows us to overcome the gamma problem (i.e., the nonlinear projector response) in the output light intensity. We will demonstrate that, with a small defocusing level--lower than with other techniques proposed in the literature--a high-quality sinusoidal pattern is obtained. Validation experiments using a commercial video projector are presented.     

A real-time,full-field,and low-cost velocity sensing approach for linear motion using fringe projection techniques

A velocity sensing approach using the fringe projection technique is presented. The moving object is projected with a sinusoidal fringe pattern. A CCD camera located at a different view angle observes the projected fringes on the dynamic object. The long exposure time of the CCD camera makes the fringes blurred by linear motion. The blurred fringes provide additional information to describe the depth displacement, and therefore the velocity vector can be identified. There is no need to take multiple-shot measurements to address the change in 3D positions at a sequence of time. Only one-shot measurement is required. Consequently, there is no need to perform image registration. The full-field approach also makes it possible to simultaneously inspect several objects.     

A composite-structured-light 3D measurement method based on fringe parameter calibration

This paper proposes a novel method for reducing measurement error caused by spectrum overlapping in composite-structured-light 3D measurement systems. For a composite-structured-light 3D measurement system, spectrum overlapping causes parameters of each deformed phase-shifting fringe to change, and therefore leads to phase measurement errors. The proposed fringe parameter calibration method is based on the fact that variations in each deformed fringe's parameters are independent of height and reflectivity of the measured object. Three frames of composite grating are projected on the reference plane, and each carrier channel includes the information of three phase-shifting sinusoidal gratings used in Phase Measuring Profilometry (PMP). With the parameter calculation formulas of PMP, the parameters of fringes demodulated from the same carrier channel can be calculated, and therefore parameter relation coefficients between fringes demodulated from different carrier channels may be obtained. When an object is measured, these relation coefficients can be used to calibrate the parameters of the deformed phase-shifting fringes. A new 3D measurement mathematical model is established to reconstruct the shape of the object. Experimental data proved that the proposed method can effectively restrain the effect of spectrum overlapping and improve measurement accuracy by more than three times.     

Contrast enhanced and phase controlled stroboscopic additive fibre optic TV-holography for whole field out-of-plane vibration analysis

A new technique for real-time contrast enhancement and phase control of fringes in additive Stroboscopic TV-holography applied to out-of-plane vibration analysis and its implementation on a fibre-optic electronic speckle pattern interferometer (FOESPI) are presented. Synchronous Stroboscopic illumination, firing two pulses per object vibration period, is combined with simultaneous inter-pulse (high frequency) and inter-frame (low frequency) phase modulation in the reference arm of the ESPI yielding a sequence of frames (interferograms) that are grabbed and processed in real-time. With this technique both speckle and fringe phases are independently controlled by means of the parameters of modulation enabling speckle contrast inversion, as required to enhance the visibility of fringes by sequential subtraction, as well as dynamic fringe phase shifting to solve peakvalley ambiguities.

Measuring velocity of speckle fields with digital speckle pattern interferometry

We investigate a digital method for detecting the velocity of a diffusing object. The technique is based on Digital Speckle Pattern Interferometry (DSPI). A set of reference fringes is generated externally through the reference beam in a digital interferometer. As the object moves, subsequent frames are acquired and subtracted according to the normal DSPI procedure and stored. By means of the theory of first order speckle statistics applied to speckle intensity correlation, we relate the visibility variations in the reference fringes with the object velocity. Thus, by measuring the fringe visibility variation in the resulting DSPI stored frames the mean object velocity can be obtained. The theoretical results are experimentally verified.     

Holographic contouring using double-source technique and Fourier transform analysis

This paper describes a double-exposure holographic contouring technique by the movement of the object beam through fibre optics. Single-mode optic fibres are used to transfer both object and reference beams. Between two exposures the object illumination beam is displaced. The contouring fringes can be visualised on the object surfaces. The fringe patterns are automatically processed by the fast Fourier transform (FFT) method, which produces a 3D perspective plot. Examples are given for different objects.     

3-D object profilometry based on direct fringe displacement analysis

A simple, fast and accurate method for 3-D object profilometry is proposed and verified by simulation and experiment. The profilometry method is based on the principle that the height data of a measured object can be obtained from the relevant fringe displacement, which in turn can be obtained by determining the precise position of the fringe center on the reference plane and on the object's surface. With the aid of a fringe skeleton extraction technique, the 3-D information can be acquired even from those images in which some fringes are squeezed, interrupted or shadowed.     

The separation of out-of-plane displacement from in-plane components by fringe carrier method based on large image-shearing ESPI

A fringe carrier method for separating out-of-plane displacement from in-plane components based on large image-shearing electronic speckle pattern interferometry (ESPI) is presented. If the test object is respectively illuminated by two expanded symmetric illuminations in large image-shearing ESPI, two interferometers are formed. Carrier fringe patterns can be introduced by tilting reference surface a small angle. The carrier fringe patterns are demodulated after deformation of the object. Two phase maps, which include out-of-plane and in-plane displacement, can be obtained by using Fourier transform. Then out-of-plane displacement can be easily separated from in-plane displacement by simple operation between two unwrapped phase distributions. The principle of spatial carrier frequency modulation in large image-shearing ESPI is discussed. A typical three-point-bending experiment is completed. Experimental results are offered. The results show that the method offers high visibility of carrier fringes. And the system presented does not need a special beam as a reference light and has simple optical setup.
