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.     

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.     

Self-calibration of a fringe projection system using epipolar constraint

A new self-calibration method for a fringe-projection based 3D measurement system is proposed. To determine homologous points in the proposed camera/projector configuration, the phase map is converted to the u, v coordinates in the projected image. The projector can conceptually be regarded as camera acting in a reversed mode. Taking the epipolar constraint into account, this approach can allow self-calibration of the fringe projection system. Considering the effect of noise, we propose a nonlinear self-calibrating model. The experimental results show the effectiveness of this approach.     

单幅彩色条纹投影的不连续物体表面三维形貌测量

提出了基于单幅彩色条纹投影的不连续物体及动态三维形貌的测量方法。该方法利用计算机产生一幅正弦条纹图和两幅单一强度图分别通过红蓝绿三个通道合成为一幅彩色条纹图,由液晶投影仪投影到被测物体表面,彩色CCD采集变形条纹图并保存在计算机中。通过三色分离,同时获得正弦条纹图和反映表面反射率分布及背景信息图,通过图像除法运算及亚像素精度归一化处理实现物体三维形貌的恢复。对于表面形貌不连续的物体,利用蓝色分量的灰度图像进行二值化处理定位阴影或暗背景,从而引导正确的相位求解。实验验证了该方法对不连续物体动态测量方面的可行性。     

Multichannel method for absolute shape measurement using projected fringes

The multichannel approach is combined with the reduced temporal phase unwrapping scheme for rapid shape measurement. The shape is measured using projected fringes and optical triangulation. Fringes are projected using a colour video projector and recorded by a CCD-camera. Using a colour video projector and a colour video camera makes it possible to use the red, green and blue channels individually. This is the multichannel method. In each channel, the blue, green and red carries fringe maps with different fringe pitch. A short sequence of phase-stepped images is projected and acquired sequentially in time. This reduces measurement time by a factor of three when compared to using one channel. From the acquired images, it is possible to calculate absolute phase using the reduced temporal phase unwrapping analysis scheme. For each channel, it is also possible to calculate fringe contrast and fringe amplitude. Therefore, it is possible to retrieve the colour of an object without acquiring an extra image. The method is demonstrated by measuring the shape of two generally coloured and complex shaped objects.     

Background and amplitude encoded fringe patterns for 3D surface-shape measurement

This paper presents a new fringe projection method for surface-shape measurement that uses background and amplitude encoded high-frequency fringe patterns. The background and amplitude, combined as a codeword, identify the wrapped phase fringe order to partially unwrap the phase to a low frequency. The low-frequency wrapped phase map is then directly used to reconstruct the surface based on geometry constraints without requiring additional images as in other temporal phase-unwrapping methods. Measurements performed on a double-hemisphere, mask, and manikin head, using projected fringe patterns with 48 periods, demonstrated the ability of the method to perform 3D shape measurement with only four projected patterns and captured images, using a single camera and projector.     

Single fringe projection profilometry based on sinusoidal intensity normalization and subpixel fitting

A novel fringe projection profilometry using a single sinusoidal fringe pattern projected is proposed. Computer-generated sinusoidal fringe and uniform intensity patterns are firstly projected on a testing object by a liquid crystal display projector. The variable reflection intensity of a fringe pattern is then roughly normalized by division operation applied to the grabbed fringe and uniform intensity patterns projected. Fringe intensity is further normalized by employing an interpolation algorithm. The deformed sinusoidal pattern encoding object shape is converted to a wrapped phase map without using phase-shifting or Fourier transform. Computer simulation and experimental performance are evaluated to demonstrate the validity of the proposed method. The experimental results compared with those of the four-step phase-shifting and fast Fourier transform methods are also presented.

Profile measurement of a moving object using an improved projection grating phase-shifting profilometry

3-D profile measurement of a moving object using a novel phase-shifting technique is introduced. Digital gratings with two steps phase-shifting are projected periodically onto a measured object surface. The deformed fringe patterns are captured by a frame CCD camera within a short exposure time. By synchronizing the projector and the CCD camera accurately, there is an overlapping part which is the same part of the object among three neighbouring frames. The length of an overlapping part can be controlled as one third of a frame length. Hence the intensity values at the same surface point modulated by three neighbouring gratings can be obtained, and its phase value can be computed by an improved phase-extracting algorithm. The profile of a specimen is detected by the proposed method. Experimental results demonstrate that this method is effective for the profile measurement of a moving object.

Calibration method for fringe projection profilometry with a binary defocusing technique

A novel and simple calibration method for fringe projection profilometry with a binary defocusing technique is proposed and verified by experiments. This paper theoretically presents the principle that the one-to-one mapping servers as spatially invariant to environment in the phase domain when the projector is defocused. In terms of this principle, only two reference planes are introduced in the volume of projector defocusing (the measured volume) to specify one constraint, i.e., the emitted light beams, which are determined by the sub-pixel homologous pairs from the measured object to the reference planes in the phase domain. The nonlinear camera model is utilized to define the other constraint, i.e., the reflected light beams. Then, combining these two constraints will calibrate the 3D information of the measured object. It is pointed out that the proposed method does not require the calibration of the projector. Experiments demonstrate the performance of our proposed approach: the measurement accuracy can reach about 0.0916 mm with the binary defocusing technique.
