Correction of quadratic phase error in two-wavelength digital holographic interferometry using laser diodes

We present the correction of a quadratic phase error in two-wavelength digital holographic interferometry using laser diodes. This phase error arises from numerical reconstructions of wavefronts from digital holograms based on the Fresnel diffraction integral. To correct the quadratic phase error, it is numerically produced by computer on the basis of the theoretical prediction and is subtracted from the phase difference map in two-wavelength digital holographic interferometry. Experimental results show that the method of correction in this paper is useful for two-wavelength digital holographic interferometry using laser diodes.     

Roughness measurement of metals using a modified binary speckle image and adaptive optics

This paper proposes an integrated roughness measurement system that is based on adaptive optics (AO) and binary analysis of speckle pattern images. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the necessity for AO compensation in regions containing both heat and fluid flow turbulences. A speckle image was obtained by projecting a laser beam onto the specimen surface, and the laser pattern image reflected from the surface was binarized to experimentally correlate the intensity with the surface roughness. In the absence of the AO correction scheme, induced turbulences can severely increase the residual rms error from 0.14 to 1.4 μm. After a real-time closed-loop AO correction, we can reduce the wavefront root mean square (rms) error to 0.12 μm, which not only compensates for the aberration error from induced disturbances but also improves the overall performance of the optical system. In addition, an AO system having different gains was investigated, and a threshold gain value was found to be able to steadily compensate for the wavefront errors in less than 2 s. Measurement results of five steel samples having roughness ranging from 0.2 to 3.125 μm (0.3λ and 5λ, where λ is the diode laser wavelength) demonstrate an excellent correlation between the intensity distribution of binary images and average roughness with a correlation coefficient of 0.9982. Furthermore, the proposed AO-assisted system is in good agreement with the stylus method and less than 9.73% error values can be consistently obtained.     

Displacement measurement based on joint fractional Fourier transform correlator

A displacement measurement technology based on joint fractional Fourier transform is firstly proposed. Contrast to conventional displacement measurement based on joint Fourier transform correlator, the position of cross correlation peak in the proposed technology could be fixed arbitrarily according to the order of fractional Fourier transform. The optical setup in the proposed technology is more flexible and easier to implement. Simulation and experiment results are given out to verify the analysis.     

Holovideo: Real-time 3D range video encoding and decoding on GPU

We present a 3D video-encoding technique called Holovideo that is capable of encoding high-resolution 3D videos into standard 2D videos, and then decoding the 2D videos back into 3D rapidly without significant loss of quality. Due to the nature of the algorithm, 2D video compression such as JPEG encoding with QuickTime Run Length Encoding (QTRLE) can be applied with little quality loss, resulting in an effective way to store 3D video at very small file sizes. We found that under a compression ratio of 134:1, Holovideo to OBJ file format, the 3D geometry quality drops at a negligible level. Several sets of 3D videos were captured using a structured light scanner, compressed using the Holovideo codec, and then uncompressed and displayed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the codec. With the use of OpenGL Shaders (GLSL), the 3D video codec can encode and decode in realtime. We demonstrated that for a video size of 512×512, the decoding speed is 28 frames per second (FPS) with a laptop computer using an embedded NVIDIA GeForce 9400 m graphics processing unit (GPU). Encoding can be done with this same setup at 18 FPS, making this technology suitable for applications such as interactive 3D video games and 3D video conferencing.

一种基于共轭节面的图像畸变分析方法

无像差的光学相机的成像模型可由其共轭节面模型等效表示。针孔模型本身忽略了偏离该等效模型的误差,也无法表示平板玻璃的平移误差、光轴的安装误差以及实际相机光学系统的像差,这四个因素都会引起图像畸变。基于此利用共轭节面的性质建立了一种图像畸变几何模型,并与广泛采用的像差模型进行了对比,从理论上解释了像差模型各个系数的物理意义。对某实际针孔相机进行仿真分析,该几何模型给出的相对径向畸变、角度误差在设计参数的范围以内,并且可以模拟图像的非对称畸变。该几何模型需要辨识包含主面相关参数、光轴倾斜角和平板玻璃的轴向球差在内的4个参数,辨识参数较少,理论上可以作为一种新的图像畸变校正方法。     

基于指数尺度间隔连续小波变换的相位提取算法

只需要一幅调制图像的光栅投影测量方法主要有傅里叶变换轮廓术(FTP)、小波变换轮廓术(WTP)等。采用基于指数尺度间隔的连续小波变换与重构方法,提取调制图像的瞬时相位。针对指数尺度间隔连续小波变换,指出了足够大的噪声能够改变小波变换脊的位置,并且该脊向上移动的概率最大。因此,为了重构载频信号,选择脊及其紧邻的较大的那个尺度所对应的小波系数,采用灰度图像阈值分割中最大类间方差法(OTSU),剔除掉幅值较小的系数;针对斑点噪声的影响,对OTSU算法的结果进行了修正;使用修正后的系数集合重构载频信号,并计算该信号的瞬时相位。理论分析和实验结果表明算法有效且具有稳健性。

摄影测量图像处理的高精度误差补偿法

在高精度的摄影测量中,图像处理精度对整体测量精度起着至关重要的作用,但成像过程中摄像机对特征点图像的离散化采样,会造成图像与原始信号的失真,从而带来图像处理环节的误差。通过对图像处理过程中特征点总能量、能量分布弥散半径和图像处理窗口的特性分析,并以特征点中心位置、提取误差大小和能量密度函数的标准差之间关系为基础,提出一种针对离散化采样的误差补偿法。该方法仅需标定一次补偿参数,适用于所有摄像机和算法,可显著提升原有图像处理精度。实验证明,对于质心法和高斯拟合法,该补偿法可将图像提取精度提高到0.03pixel。
