A novel color fringe projection based Fourier transform 3D shape measurement method

A novel Fourier transform 3D shape measurement method based on color fringe projection is proposed in order to solve the spectrum overlapping and phase unwrapping problems existed in Fourier transform profilometry (FTP). The R and G components of the color fringe are set to two sinusoidal patterns with different frequencies and the B component is set to the average value of R or G component. Then this pattern is projected to the object and the deformed fringe image is captured. Three gray patterns are separated from the color fringe, the background and high frequency noise can be eliminated using our method and the accurate unwrapped phase can be got. Only one shot color pattern is projected to get the 3D information of the object. Experiment results show that the 3D information of an object can be obtained rapidly and accurately.     

3-D shape measurement based on complementary Gray-code light

A combination of phase-shift with Gray-code light projection into a three-dimensional (3-D) measurement system has been exploited to digitalize 3-D shape information of a tested object, even with a discontinuous surface. Unfortunately, the phase unwrapping will fall into an error, when an improper value of Gray coding is caused by mistake at the partial boundary of two adjacent binary words. To this end, a new complementary Gray-code method is proposed in this paper as well as the corresponding phase-unwrapping method. This problem of phase unwrapping could be cleverly solved by projecting an additional Gray-code pattern to extend this code and using the different and complementary boundary locations of the traditional and additional codes. The results of computer simulation and experiment confirm that this proposed method based on complementary Gray-code can reliably reconstruct the nature phase distribution of the tested object with only one extra fringe pattern.     

基于自适应条纹投影的高反光物体三维面形测量

结构光投影方法在三维形貌测量中应用广泛,但是由于被测物体表面反射率变化范围较大,过度曝光会导致相位信息无法获取。而传统的高动态范围扫描技术步骤复杂,耗时较长。文中提出一种自适应条纹投影技术,向待测物体表面投射较高灰度级的条纹图,判断并标记过度曝光点。降低投射强度后通过非线性最小二乘法拟合来确定每个饱和像素点最适合的最大输入灰度,用重新生成的自适应条纹图来采集图像并进行相位计算和三维形貌恢复。通过实验验证,该方法可以对物体表面的高反光区域进行有效测量,避免过度饱和,仿真误差在0.02 mm范围内,实测误差约为0.14 mm,实际实验对过曝点的补偿率可达到99%。     

Surface profile inspection of a moving object by using dual-frequency Fourier transform profilometry

The 2π phase ambiguity caused by surface isolations and large height step can be solved by dual-frequency projection grating profilometry. However, in the Fourier transform profilometry (FTP) of a moving object, only one single deformed fringe pattern can be obtained. In order to introduce the dual-frequency technique into the FTP of moving object, a novel experimental system is designed to capture two fringe patterns with different frequency at the same time. A grating structure comprising two regions with different frequencies is projected upon the surface of the detected object. Two line-scan CCD cameras are used to capture the surface images encoded by the two kinds of patterns, respectively. By getting the corresponding image intensity at the same point of the object surface in the two acquired images, the dual-frequency technique is applied to extract the real phase without phase ambiguity. The surface profile of a specimen with a large height step is measured to prove the feasibility of the proposed method. The experimental results show that the proposed method can solve the 2π phase ambiguity problem successfully in the surface profile inspection of a moving object.

Neural network applied to reconstruction of complex objects based on fringe projection

The neural network has been introduced into the reconstruction of the complex object based on fringe projection. In this method, the neural network with powerful property of approximation is used to get the continuous approximate function of a discrete fringe pattern captured by an image frame grabber. The depth-related phase of the measured object modulated into the fringe pattern can be demodulated by dealing with the approximate function. Compared with the Fourier transform profilometry (FTP), in the network method, one deformed fringe pattern is needed to reconstruct the tested object, and a high spatial resolution is maintained for no filtering process. Therefore, this method performs better than FTP in the measurement of the complex object. Moreover, the network method is capable of demodulating more depth-related phase even in the case that the local shadow exists in the fringe pattern. Computer simulations and experiments validate the feasibility of this method.     

BP neural network applied to 3D object measurement based on fringe pattern projection

In the fringe projection profilometry, the traditional triangle method, such as Fourier-transform profilometry (FTP), is difficult to recover the stepped shape object from the deformed fringe pattern. In order to solve this problem, the neural network is introduced to deal with this kind of fringe patterns and gain the three-dimensional (3D) information of the measured object. By training the network, the relationship between the deformed fringe pattern and the height of the object can be obtained, and thereby the height of the object can be obtained. Furthermore, the object can be reconstructed perfectly without knowing the optical parameters of the experiment system. An obvious merit of this network method is that it can recover the 3D object in a short time and only need one deformed fringe pattern. Computer simulations and experiment validate the feasibility of the method.     

基于双色条纹投影的快速傅里叶变换轮廓术

在实际傅里叶变换轮廓术测量中，获取的条纹图扩展的零频分量对傅里叶变换轮廓术的测量精度和测量范围有很大影响，甚至妨碍正确三维面形的恢复。π相移技术常被用来消除零频分量对测量的影响，但需要在测量系统中安装精密相移装置，并需要采集两帧具有π相位差的条纹图。传统傅里叶变换轮廓术中，完成精密相移需要较长的时间，影响了傅里叶变换轮廓术测量方法的实时性。提出了采用双色正弦光栅投影来实现从一帧条纹图中消除零频对傅里叶变换轮廓术测量的影响。该方法同传统的π相移方法相比，不需要相移装置，测量系统简单，并且能真正实现高速测量。     

傅里叶变换轮廓术中相位失真的预矫正方法

介绍了一种基于傅里叶变换轮廓术的三维面形测量系统中相位失真的预矫正方法。由于投影系统和成像系统的空间三角位置关系、投影仪的发散照明和两套系统蕴含的光学畸变,投影一幅相位与空间坐标成理想线性关系的标准正弦光场,拍摄到的条纹相位和空间坐标不再呈线性分布,引起相位失真,甚至会影响系统测量精度。该方法借鉴反向条纹投影的思想,计算拍摄光场的非线性相位分布与理想的线性相位分布之间的关系,预先矫正,反算出一个新的待投影光场。实验结果表明这种方法能有效地减小该类相位失真所导致的测量误差,获得了更好的测量结果．     

基于二进制条纹加相位编码条纹离焦投影的三维测量方法

复杂表面的精密三维测量在工业无损检测中非常重要。二进制条纹离焦投影方法在快速三维测量中有重要的应用前景,但该方法难以实现复杂表面高精度三维测量。为此,提出了基于二进制条纹加相位编码条纹离焦投影的三维测量方法。由于离焦投影滤除了高次谐波和高频噪声,可以克服投影仪的非线性伽马效应,与传统投影正弦条纹方法相比,提高了其测量精度。针对离焦投影时,随着相位编码条纹频率增大,条纹级次判决困难,出现周期错位,导致相位解包裹出错,提出了相移编码方法来解决以上问题。采用相移编码方法校正周期错位,使条纹级次判决准确,进一步提高其测量精度。实验结果表明,其测量精度可以达到0.044 mm,验证了本方法的有效性和实用性。     

A novel 3D measuring method for discontinuous object by non-integral twin-frequency grating

A new 3D shape measurement method based on non-integral twin-frequency grating projection is proposed. In this paper, the projected composite grating is composed of two sinusoidal gratings, and the quotient of whose frequencies is not an integer. By using appropriate phase-shifting algorithms, two wrapped phases can be obtained from sixteen frames of the distorted grating patterns. In aid of appropriate phase unwrapping method, the unwrapped phase of high frequency fringe is obtained only from the relation of the two wrapped phases by a pixel-to-pixel phase unwrapping technique. Therefore the unwrapped phase of high frequency fringe pattern is independent of the low frequency fringe pattern, different from traditional integral twin-frequency grating projection methods in which the phase unwrapping error of low frequency fringe pattern may be propagated onto the unwrapped phase of high frequency fringe pattern. The new theory proves that the proposed method is applicable to measure discontinuous object, and has considerable measurement accuracy.     

A novel fringe adaptation method for digital projector

Aimed to obtain high-quality sinusoidal fringe projection, a new method to correct the output fringe of digital projector is presented. The method is based on the proposed fringe transform model, which describes the relationship of the input and output fringe pattern. Firstly, a series of fringe patterns are projected and from the fringe images, the transform function is calculated by the pattern shifting method. At last, by modifying the input fringe pattern, a standard sinusoidal output fringe can be achieved. Different from the previous methods, the waveform nonlinearity is estimated by varying the intensity of the projected fringe pixel by pixel; thus the waveform nonlinearity can be estimated precisely and the time cost is considerably reduced. Experimental results show that by modification of the input projection patterns the projector can project fringe with high-quality sinusoidal waveform leading to high performance of the projection system.     

相位编码条纹投影轮廓术的相位展开误差校正方法

相位编码法是条纹投影技术中常用的一种相位展开方法。然而，受到随机噪声、图像采样、系统离焦等因素的影响，条纹阶次与包裹相位的对应关系容易被破坏，从而引入相位展开误差。根据相位展开误差的分布特点，提出一种附加二值条纹的相位展开误差校正方法。引入的二值条纹与相位编码条纹的码字存在半周期错位，使得计算出的2组条纹阶次值具有互补性，利用两者的互补性可以有效地消除相位展开误差。仿真和真实实验均表明，该方法能够准确地恢复出被测物体的绝对相位，具有较高的可靠性。     

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.     

A novel optical method without phase unwrapping for subsurface flaw detection

This paper presents a novel optical method without phase unwrapping for subsurface flaw detection, based on the computer-vision reflection grating technique. In the setup, a computer-generated fringe pattern displayed on a computer-monitor is placed in front of the test object surface and forms a mirror image behind the reflective surface. The fringe pattern is perturbed according to the surface slope distribution. Unlike the current fringe pattern analysis techniques, which require one/several images, the analysis algorithm of the present method involves a sequence of fringe patterns having multiple frequencies to deduce the ‘pixel-slope’ information which is directly related to the surface slope of the test object. The novel method offers independent analysis for each pixel of the data array, and thus the problem of phase discontinuity in phase unwrapping can be eliminated. In this paper, experimental demonstration of the novel optical method to subsurface flaw detection is presented.     

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.     

An improved stair phase encoding method for absolute phase retrieval

An improved phase unwrapping method is proposed to reduce the projection fringes in three-dimensional (3D) surface measurement. Color fringe patterns are generated by encoding with sinusoidal fringe and stair phase fringe patterns in red and blue channels. These color fringe patterns are projected onto the tested objects and then captured by a color CCD camera. The recorded fringe patterns are separated into their RGB components. Two groups of four-step phase-shifting fringe patterns are obtained. One group of the stripes are four sinusoidal patterns, which are used to determine the wrapped phase. The other group of stripes are four sinusoidal patterns with the codeword embedded into stair phase, whose stair changes are perfectly aligned with the 2π discontinuities of sinusoidal fringe phase, which are used to determine the fringe order for the phase unwrapping. The experimental results are analyzed and compared with those of the method in Zheng and Da (2012. Opt Express 20(22):24139–24150). The results show that the proposed method needs only four fringe patterns while having less error. It can effectively reduce the number of projection fringes and improve the measuring speed.
