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.     

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。     

利用颜色编码辅助计算绝对相位的傅里叶轮廓术

 针对传统去卷积算法时间需求的弊端,提出一种新的使用颜色编码辅助的绝对相位并行计算方法。该算法采用对光栅数目需求最少的傅里叶变换轮廓术（FTP）做为卷积相位求取的方法;颜色编码光栅被用来标识轮廓的序数。直接使用FTP计算出的卷积相位以及从彩色光栅中获得的轮廓序数,即可方便求出当前像素的绝对相位值;同时只用一副图像标识轮廓序数也比其他轮廓序数标识方法简单。本方法由于使用绝对相位计算方法,局部相位误差不会扩展。实验结果也证明了此算法对于多个分离物体以及复杂物体的有效性。

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.     

Evaluation of absolute phase for 3D profile measurement using fringe projection

A new method of absolute phase evaluation for three-dimensional (3D) profile measurement using fringe projection is presented, which combines the gray code and the phase shift technique. Two kinds of fringe patterns are projected onto the object surface respectively, one is sinusoidal intensity distribution used for phase demodulation and the other is gray code fringe pattern for unwrapping. These images are acquired by camera and stored into computer. The absolute phase is obtained by analyzing these images. The validity of this method is verified experimentally. The method is superior to other phase unwrapping methods.     

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.     

Green's formulation for robust phase unwrapping in digital holography

We present, for the first time to the best of our knowledge, a phase unwrapping method based on an algorithm which makes use of Green's first identity. This method aims at recovering the correct phase information encoded in a fringe pattern after digital holography (DH) numerical processing. DH provides a quantitative measurement of the three-dimensional surface profile of objects. The information about the profile can be obtained in principle from the phase-map. However, the measured phase-map provides the actual phase values wrapped mod.2π so that an unwrapping process is required in order to reconstruct the object profile.     

Iterative two-step temporal phase-unwrapping applied to high sensitivity three-dimensional profilometry

Although temporal phase unwrapping method can be applied to solve some problems to measure an object with steep shapes, isolated parts or fringe undersampling in three-dimensional (3D) shape measurement, it needs to acquire and process a sequence of fringe pattern images which would take much time. Servin et al. proposed a 2-step temporal phase unwrapping algorithm, which only needs the 2 extreme phase-maps to achieve exactly the same results as standard temporal unwrapping method. But this method is only validated by computer simulation, shortage of experimental demonstration, its sensitivity coefficient G is limited, and it cannot be used when the G value is larger. We proposed an iterative two-step temporal phase-unwrapping algorithm which is an extension of Servin׳s method. First, add a fringe pattern with an intermediate sensitivity, project the fringe patterns of different sensitivity onto the tested object’s surface, and collect deformed fringe patterns with a CCD camera. Then we obtain the unwrapped phase with larger sensitivity coefficient G by cascading the sensitivity coefficients. And we derive the initial phase conditions of the 2-step temporal phase unwrapping algorithm. Finally, the experimental evaluation is conducted to prove the validity of the proposed method. The results are analyzed and compared with Servin׳s method. The experimental results show that the proposed method can achieve higher sensitivity and more accurate measurement, and it can overcome the main disadvantages encountered by Servin׳s method.     

基于梯形与正弦相移算法的非线性误差校正北大核心CSCD

相移轮廓术是一种广泛使用的光学三维测量方法,其精度不仅受相位展开算法本身的影响,也受测量系统中投影仪和摄像机的非线性影响。理论上,投射更多的相移条纹可减弱非线性误差的影响,但是增加了测量时间。为了提高误差校正的效率,提出了一种基于梯形正弦相移的测量方法。该方法需要两组改进的梯形相移条纹和一幅正弦条纹。梯形条纹提供图像强度信息和条纹级次信息,图像强度信息用来求取系统的非线性响应曲线,进一步消除系统的非线性。正弦条纹经过希尔伯特变换可求得额外的条纹图像,用来计算截断相位信息。经过校正的截断相位信息,可进一步获取精度较高的三维信息。相较于先前的梯形与正弦误差校正方法,该方法的测量效率提高了28%。     

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.     

仿视觉过程的相位展开方法

在所有基于条纹分析的光学测量中,相位展开问题是难以避免的问题。所有传统的相位展开方法的共同点都是在相主值图中通过邻域内相主值差和寻找无噪声的相位展开路径来完成的。如果不利用整幅图像像素间的联系,则误差会沿展开路径传播。根据人眼识别栅线图周期的过程提出了一种与以往完全不同的相位展开方法。经过初步提取周期分界线、修补分界线和根据分界线确定周期三个步骤即可完成相位展开过程。该算法的原理简单明了,实现起来相对简单,只需单幅条纹图像即可得到周期,因而可用于动态测量。实验结果验证了该算法的可行性。

一种针对彩色物体的光栅投影三维测量方法

针对传统彩色编码光栅三维轮廓术中光栅易受到物体表面彩色纹理的干扰,从而造成编码条纹颜色误判和相位误差增大这一问题,提出一种基于互补彩色光栅的三维测量方法,给出了理论分析、光栅设计原理、补偿算法与实验分析。对图像进行初步的解耦校正后,通过预先设计的光栅互补特性,依据彩色响应模型求取物体表面逐点的反射率,并对红绿蓝(RGB)三通道反射率的不平衡进行补偿,消除物体表面彩色纹理的干扰,改善光栅的正弦性。以补偿后的图像来指导彩色编码条纹的分割解码并用傅里叶变换法提取出包裹相位,依据解码结果指导相位展开,继而完成整个三维测量过程。实验证明该方法对彩色纹理的补偿准确有效,降低了彩色纹理对测量的影响。     

用于三维测量的快速相位解包裹算法

减少条纹投影轮廓术的条纹图数量一直是本领域的研究热点。传统的时间相位解包裹算法，一般需要额外的条纹信息来确定条纹级次，导致条纹图数量过多。提出一种用于三维测量的快速相位解包裹算法，只需要N步标准相移正弦条纹图，就可以完成绝对相位的计算。首先，利用标准相移算法计算包裹相位和消除背景的掩膜；然后，直接利用包裹相位和掩膜，根据连通域标记算法计算条纹级次，进而求得绝对相位。该方法最少只需3幅条纹图，就可以完成三维测量，数据处理速度快。计算机仿真和实验结果验证了该方法的有效性和鲁棒性。     

Fringe contrast-based 3D profilometry using fringe projection

Quality-guided algorithm is a widely used method in phase unwrapping. This paper shows an accurate quality map based on fringe contrast for 3D shape measurement. Phase-shifted fringe patterns are projected onto an object surface by a programmable liquid crystal projector and recorded by a CCD camera. A wrapped phase map and a fringe contrast map are extracted from the deformed fringe patterns by the phase-shifting technique. Guided by the contrast map, the quality-guided unwrapping algorithm minimizes unwanted shadow and non-uniform surface reflectance effects and is able to retrieve a correct surface profile. Validity of the proposed method is tested on a fish model and a cutting tool specimen.     

基于相位展开及拼接算法的一种高精度大量程宽光谱干涉显微术

宽光谱干涉显微术广泛应用于高精密检测领域, 它测量样品形貌通常采用垂直扫描干涉术对亚微米至毫米级特征进行测量,以及相移干涉术对纳米级特征进行测量。其中,相移干涉术精度可达纳米级,但量程有限,高度变化对应的相位需限制在区间内。采用包裹相位展开算法可以扩展相移干涉术的量程,也仅适用于平滑表面,当高度起伏超出焦深或者光源相干长度的限定范围时,干涉条纹模糊或对比度丧失,所解算的结果将产生较大误差甚至错误。提出一种基于相位展开及拼接算法的高精度、大量程宽光谱干涉显微测量方法,以干涉条纹调制度量化条纹质量,条纹对比度高、成像清晰的区域对应调制度较高,定义当前焦面条纹调制度高于阈值的区域为理想区域,定义焦面条纹调制度低于阈值的区域为问题区域。以相位展开算法获得理想区域中的样品相位分布,问题区域的包裹相位不进行展开。使用微位移结构纵向移动物镜焦平面,选择合理的步长,使相邻焦面位置理想区域展开后的真实相位保持部分区域重合,根据重合区域的相位值均差可以实现不同焦面位置的高精度相位拼接,最终获得扩展量程的高精度真实相位结果,进而可以恢复样品完整的表面形貌分布。该算法通过对理想区域的筛选,避免了相位在问题区域展开带来的误差,可以得到精确的测量结果。通过模拟计算和实验验证,证明了该方法不仅保持了宽光谱干涉显微术中相移干涉术的纳米级高精度,还可将其量程从数百纳米拓展到数微米。而且,该方法精度不依赖于位移部件,理论上量程可以拓展到显微物镜的全工作距离。     

Novel phase-coding method for absolute phase retrieval

This Letter presents a novel absolute phase recovery technique with phase coding. Unlike the conventional gray-coding method, the codeword is embedded into the phase and then used to determine the fringe order for absolute phase retrieval. This technique is robust because it uses phase instead of intensity to determine codewords, and it could achieve a faster measurement speed, since three additional images can represent more than 8(2(3)) unique codewords for phase unwrapping. Experimental results will be presented to verify the performance of the proposed technique.     

Digital speckle interferometry for assessment of surface roughness

In this work, the principle of interferometry is used to assess the surface roughness of the machined surfaces. Interferometry produces an interference fringe pattern when two or more light waves interact with each other. It is one of the important tool for precision optical metrology and testing. Well-known advantages of the phase shifting interferometry include high measurement accuracy, rapid measurement, good result even with low contrast fringes and that the polarity of the wave front can be determined. In fringe projection techniques, a known optical fringe pattern is projected onto the surface of interest. The fringe pattern on the surface is perturbed in accordance with the profile of the test surface, thereby enabling direct derivation of surface profile.In this work, an attempt has been made to assess the surface roughness using a speckle fringe analysis method of five frame phase shift algorithm for machined surface (ground surface). As these fringes are too noisy, advanced filtering technique has been used so as to reduce noise and to get improved wrapped phase map from the phase shifted fringes. A phase unwrapping software has been developed using discrete cosine transform (DCT) to generate the three-dimensional (3-D) profiles. Finally, it is compared with R_a values measured using a mechanical stylus instrument, showing good agreement.
