Three-dimensional profile measurement of the blade based on multi-value coding

As the blade must have precise size and accurate shape, three-dimensional (3D) profile measurement of the blade is very important. 3D profile measurement method based on multi-value coding is proposed. This method designs a multi-value coding stripe pattern combined with the four-step phase-shifting method. Two kinds of fringe patterns are projected onto the object respectively, one is sinusoidal intensity distribution used for wrapped phase, the other is multi-value coding fringe pattern for phase unwrapping. Because this encoding method is simple, and easy to implement, the absolute phase can be quickly implemented. Experimental results demonstrated that the proposed method can achieve a high precision, high speed and low cost 3D profile measurement of the blade.     

Phase measuring profilometry based on elliptically pattern grating

The present study proposes a new method for measuring the surface shape of an object using elliptically pattern grating projection. Based on phase measuring profilometry (PMP), elliptically pattern grating is projected on the surface of the object to measure its shape in 3D. The computing formula for solving the phase by the phase-shifting fringe method is derived, and the 3D shape formula for the altitude is reestablished. The error-contrastive analysis of the object's surface shape is re-established based on the proposed method and traditional PMP. The proposed method was shown to have a strong anti-noise ability and able to measure objects under high noise. More accurate measurement results were obtained by computer simulation and experiment to verify the feasibility of the proposed method.

Real-time 3D shape inspection system of automotive parts based on structured light pattern

The non-contact 3D area sensor technology has achieved many successes in a variety of offline measurements. However, it has not been implemented for online measurement in the automotive production lines. The biggest challenge is the capability of simultaneously satisfying the efficiency, reliability, and accuracy requirements. For this purpose, a real-time 3D area sensor based on structured light pattern is proposed. To satisfy the requirement of online measurement, a one-shot pattern using monochromatic light is proposed. Compared with the previous patterns, this pattern is more robust because it can avoid the influence of the ambient light and the inspected part reflective property. Moreover, the requirement of the accuracy performance is achieved by the pattern primitive which is similar to the corner of the checkerboard since it can provide high accuracy performance even when the occlusion occurs; also, the pixel-to-pixel calibration strategy is utilized to increase the accuracy of the inspection system. Such a real-time shape measurement system has been successfully developed in our laboratory. Last, the evaluation experiments are conducted. The experiment results demonstrate the robustness and accuracy of the approach on automotive parts with different surface properties.

Simultaneous 2D in-plane deformation measurement using electronic speckle pattern interferometry with double phase modulations

Electronic speckle pattern interferometry(ESPI) and digital speckle pattern interferometry are wellestablished non-contact measurement methods. They have been widely used to carry out precise deformation mapping. However, the simultaneous two-dimensional(2D) or three-dimensional(3D) deformation measurements using ESPI with phase shifting usually involve complicated and slow equipment. In this Letter, we solve these issues by proposing a modified ESPI system based on double phase modulations with only one laser and one camera. In-plane normal and shear strains are obtained with good quality. This system can also be developed to measure 3D deformation, and it has the potential to carry out faster measurements with a highspeed camera.

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%。     

Pixel-by-pixel absolute phase retrieval using three phase-shifted fringe patterns without markers

This paper presents a method that can recover absolute phase pixel by pixel without embedding markers on three phase-shifted fringe patterns, acquiring additional images, or introducing additional hardware component(s). The proposed three-dimensional (3D) absolute shape measurement technique includes the following major steps: (1) segment the measured object into different regions using rough priori knowledge of surface geometry; (2) artificially create phase maps at different z planes using geometric constraints of structured light system; (3) unwrap the phase pixel by pixel for each region by properly referring to the artificially created phase map; and (4) merge unwrapped phases from all regions into a complete absolute phase map for 3D reconstruction. We demonstrate that conventional three-step phase-shifted fringe patterns can be used to create absolute phase map pixel by pixel even for large depth range objects. We have successfully implemented our proposed computational framework to achieve absolute 3D shape measurement at 40 Hz.     

Fourier transform profilometry based on composite structured light pattern

In Fourier transform profilometry (FTP), the zero frequency of the imaged patterns will influence the measurement range and precision. The π phase shifting technique is usually used to eliminate the zero order component, but this method requires the capture of two fringe patterns with a π phase difference between them, which will impede the real time application of the method. In this paper, a novel method is proposed, in which a composite structured light pattern is projected onto the object. The composite structured light pattern is formed by modulating two separate fringe patterns with a π phase difference along the orthogonal direction of the two distinct carrier frequencies. This method can eliminate the zero frequency by using only one fringe pattern. Experiments show that there is no decrease in the precision of this novel method compared with the traditional π phase shifting technique.     

Surface profile measurement of low-frequency vibrating objects using temporal analysis of fringe pattern

A simple and accurate algorithm (phase scanning method) is proposed for 3D surface contouring and dynamic response determination of a vibrating object. A sinusoidal fringe pattern is projected onto a low-frequency vibrating object by a programmable liquid crystal display projector. The fringe patterns are captured by a high-speed CCD camera with a telecentric gauging lens. Phase values are evaluated point by point using phase scanning method. From the phase values of each point on the object, the contour of the specimen at different instants of vibration can be retrieved. In this paper, a small vibrating coin is used to demonstrate the validity of the method and the experimental results are compared with test results on a stationary coin using four-step phase shifting and fast Fourier transform methods. The technique is especially useful in applications where the vibrating object has a complicated shape.

A flexible fast 3D profilometry based on modulation measurement

This paper proposes a flexible fast profilometry based on modulation measurement. Two orthogonal gratings through a beam splitter are vertically projected on an object surface, and the measured object is placed between the imaging planes of the two gratings. Then the image of the object surface modulated by the orthogonal gratings can be obtained by a CCD camera in the same direction as the grating projection. This image is processed by the operations consisting of performing the Fourier transform, spatial frequency filtering and inverse Fourier transform. Using the modulation distributions of two grating patterns, we can reconstruct the 3D shape of the object. In the measurement process, we only need to capture one fringe pattern, so it is faster than the MMP and remains the advantages of it. In the article, the principle of this method, the setup of the measurement system, some simulations and primary experiment results are given. The simulative and experimental result proves it can restore the 3D shape of the complex object fast and comparatively accurate. Because only one fringe pattern is needed in the testing, our method has a promising extensive application prospect in real-time acquiring and dynamic measurement of 3D data of complex objects.     

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.

在实际傅里叶变换轮廓术测量中,获取条纹图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,甚至妨碍三维面形的正确重建。π相移技术常被用来消除零频分量对傅里叶变换轮廓术测量的影响,但它需要采集两帧具有π相位差的条纹图。这影响了傅里叶变换轮廓术测量方法的实时性。提出采用复合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,该复合光栅是由两个不同频率的载频分别调制与其方向垂直的两帧具有π相位差的条纹并叠加形成的。实验表明,同传统的π相移方法相比,提出的新方法没有明显降低π相移傅里叶变换轮廓术的的测量精度,因此能真正实现实时高速测量。

Surface height retrieval based on fringe shifting of color-encoded structured light pattern

A new method of fringe shifting for color structured pattern projection is presented for three-dimensional (3D) surface height measurement. Temporal encoding of color stripes is combined with locally spatial shifting of multiple fringes to realize image acquisition with a small number of pattern projections. Object topography is retrieved with high resolution by decoding the code word of each fringe with the help of the redundant information provided by the shifting patterns and the encoding patterns in their temporal and spatial neighborhoods. An application to evaluate the shape of a buckled tube demonstrates the effectiveness of the method.
