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.     

Pulse-width modulation in defocused three-dimensional fringe projection

Shape measurements by fringe projection methods require high-quality sinusoidal fringes. We present a sinusoidal fringe generation technique that utilizes slightly defocused binary fringe projection. The proposed method is a spatial version of the well-known pulse-width modulation (PWM) technique of electrical engineering. PWM is easy to implement using off-the-shelf projectors, and it allows us to overcome the gamma problem (i.e., the nonlinear projector response) in the output light intensity. We will demonstrate that, with a small defocusing level--lower than with other techniques proposed in the literature--a high-quality sinusoidal pattern is obtained. Validation experiments using a commercial video projector are presented.

Flexible digital projector calibration method based on per-pixel distortion measurement and correction

When a digital projector is applied in high precision applications, the intrinsic parameters and distortion characteristics should be calibrated precisely. In this paper, a flexible full-field projector calibration method is proposed without any approximate distortion model. With planar homography theory and fringe projection technique, the projector distortion characteristic on each pixel can be measured independently and an initial distortion map is generated. The intrinsic parameters are calibrated afterwards. Then, the initial distortion map can be refined by correcting the non-perpendicularity between the optical axis and image plane. The original pattern to be projected is corrected with the refined distortion map. Thus, the calibrated projector can be regarded as an ideal projector conforming to the pinhole model. Experimental results show a nearly ideal residual map for the corrected projection pattern. In addition, the proposed calibration method is flexible without any sophisticated ancillary equipment or complicated procedure.     

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.     

Fringe projection profilometry based on complementary color-encoded fringe patterns

3D measurement techniques based on color-encoded fringe pattern projection have been widely used in various fields of engineering recently. There is one problem that the surface color of measured object may interfere with the color of projected fringe pattern. To solve this problem, a novel method based on complementary color-encoded fringe projection is proposed. Two color-encoded fringe patterns whose fringe colors are complementary are designed. The first pattern is with the sinusoidal fringe embedding into the green color channel which is used to evaluate phases by Fourier transform method. The fringe color of the captured image is established with the help of the complementary color fringe pattern, which is based on the feature of color complementation. Thus, the influence brought by the color of object surface can be eliminated, and decoding errors can be further reduced. Experiment results indicate that the proposed method is valid and can be applied to the measured colorful objects.

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.

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%。

Study on Fourier transforms profilometry based on bi-color projecting

Projecting a bicolor sinusoidal fringe pattern consisting of two interlaced RGB format base color fringe patterns with π phase difference onto an object thought digital light projector, we can capture a deformed color pattern by color digital camera, then decode two individual sinusoidal fringe patterns with π phase difference by color-separating technique. Accessing these two fringe patterns, not only are zero-order spectra eliminated, but mask function is also built to mark valid unwrapping area in FTP, automatically.Moreover, because the wrapped phase just inside the valid areas is needed unwrapping, we can mark these areas with mask function, which avoids the error transferring resulting from unwrapping the invalid areas and shortens the unwrapping time. Furthermore, in Fourier transform processing, the full-field deformed fringe pattern generally needed to guarantee measurement precision can be formed by expanding non-full-field fringe pattern captured using the mask function.

Three-dimensional shape measurement for an underwater object based on two-dimensional grating pattern projection

In this paper, a practical method using phase tracking and ray tracing algorithms is proposed for measuring the three-dimensional (3D) shape of an underwater object. A 2D projected sinusoidal fringe goes through the water and illuminates the tested object. Firstly, the phase tracking algorithm is employed to identify homologous points in phase distributions of the deformed fringe captured by the camera and these of the fringe pattern projected by the projector. The projector is regarded as a special camera as regards the stereovision principle. In the calibrated system, both ray directions of the homologous points can be easily figured out. Secondly, the ray tracing algorithm is used to trace the propagation path of each ray and to calculate the 3D coordinates of each point on the tested object's surface. Finally, the whole shape of the tested object can be reconstructed.

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.
