基于双色条纹投影的快速傅里叶变换轮廓术

在实际傅里叶变换轮廓术测量中，获取的条纹图扩展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，甚至妨碍正确三维面形的恢复。π相移技术常被用来消除零频分量对测量的影响，但需要在测量系统中安装精密相移装置，并需要采集两帧具有π相位差的条纹图。传统傅里叶变换轮廓术中，完成精密相移需要较长的时间，影响了傅里叶变换轮廓术测量方法的实时性。提出了采用双色正弦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。该方法同传统的π相移方法相比，不需要相移装置，测量系统简单，并且能真正实现高速测量。     

基于复合光栅投影的快速傅里叶变换轮廓术

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。

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.     

Three-dimensional Fourier Fringe Analysis

Over the years two-dimensional Fourier Fringe Analysis (2D-FFA) has demonstrated both its capability and its relative robustness in analysing fringe patterns within a short time-frame from static objects. Nowadays, there is an increasing demand to measure dynamic objects. Today 2D-FFA is seen as a fast and flexible method of processing fringe patterns for dynamic objects. But it is still inherently a 2D approach, i.e. it deals with three-dimensional data (video sequences) on an individual 2D frame-by-frame basis. In this paper, a novel three-dimensional Fourier Fringe Analysis (3D-FFA) algorithm is proposed to demodulate fringe pattern sequences taken from dynamic objects. This technique processes the stack of fringe patterns as a single 3D volume, not as a set of individual 2D frames that are each processed in isolation. The proposed algorithm has been evaluated on both computer simulated and real dynamic objects. Results show that the proposed technique is able to demodulate fringe pattern volumes successfully.     

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.     

Surface profile measurement of moving objects by using an improved π phase-shifting Fourier transform profilometry

The π phase-shifting Fourier transform technique is introduced into the surface profile measurement of moving objects. A digital grating comprising two regions, which have a π phase shifting is projected onto the object. Two line-scan CCD cameras are used to capture two deformed fringe patterns with π phase shifting at the same time. As the object is moving, each point at the object surface can be captured twice. The digital correlation method is used to calibrate the experimental system. The zero-order component can be eliminated by subtracting intensities of the same surface point in two captured images. And then the phase can be extracted by Fourier transform without the disturbance of zero-order component. Experimental results demonstrate that this method is feasible for the moving surface profile detection and the measurable slope of height variation can be extended.     

Using coloured structured light in 3-D surface measurement

The widest used algorithms for 3-D surface measurement using structured fringe patterns are phase stepping and Fourier fringe analysis. The techniques currently employed use mostly monochrome fringe patterns as a tool for phase information measurement and further surface reconstruction. However, the information contained in colour images is much more than that of monochrome, in this case, a new colour technique can be employed to analyse a measured scene with colour fringe patterns.This paper presents a new method for improving the measurement of 3-D shapes by using colour information of the measured scene as an additional parameter. The new method is based on primary colours (red, green and blue) to increase the number of the illuminated fringe patterns, which will remove or significantly reduce the common drawbacks of existing methods. The proposed technique produces a number of coloured structured lighting patterns, which are projected from different angles onto the scene. These patterns are analysed using masking algorithms, a specially adapted multi-colour version of the standard Fourier fringe analysis method and calibration routines. In this way a number of the standard difficulties are overcome.     

Fringe analysis and enhanced characterization of sub-surface defects using fringe-shifted shearograms

A technique for fringe analysis using variance of directly fringe-shifted shearograms is demonstrated experimentally. Statistical variations in each of the fringe-shifted shearograms are calculated to obtain a contrast map which is then used to characterize sub-surface defects and mechanical loading points. The technique offers reduced computational load compared to Fourier transform-based fringe processing algorithms. The technique is implemented using both phase difference maps and interferograms. The latter allows the extension of the technique to physical (i.e., non-reconstructed) interferograms for the analysis of dynamic systems.     

Knowledge-based hybrid expert system for automated interferometric data reduction

In order to accomplish the ultimate goal of automated interferogram evaluation, the utilization of artificial neural networks or expert systems in artificial intelligence has been expected. In this paper, a new PC-based fringe evaluation technique, which is based on hybridization of an expert system and a conventional fringe tracking method, is presented together with some test results of noise-ridden interferograms in high-speed aerodynamics. This technique incorporates algorithmic image processing with expert-system-driven knowledge manipulation in a single structure to provide an optimal solution for noisy interferogram evaluation. A new approach for regional phase unwrapping based on the technique is also proposed. This concept is applicable to interferometry such as phase shifting and Fourier transform that provides phase-wrapped information. It is based on conservative decision making in defining phase-wrapped regions by utilizing global/regional knowledge in the expert system. The approach is thus believed to reduce computation time and memory space in processing complex or noisy interferograms that require frequent operator interactions.     

基于双色条纹投影的薄膜振动模式分析

结构光投影和条纹时间平均分析技术已被用于振动模式分析中,但由于投影单色正弦条纹时振动薄膜变形条纹傅里叶谱中零频涵盖范围较大,会限制滤波窗的选取范围,从而影响模式的最终重建结果。为提高振动模式重建的准确性,提出了一种利用π相移正弦条纹投影进行薄膜振动模式分析和振幅重建的方法,通过处理两个通道的条纹分量达到消除零频的目的。给出了该方法的理论分析,完成了相应的计算机模拟,分析了影响测量精度的因素。通过与投影单色正弦条纹的振动模式重建结果对比,表明该方法有较高的重建精度。不同激励频率下的实际薄膜振动实验结果也证明了该方法正确可行。     

Fringe pattern analysis by S-transform

S-transform proposed in 1996 by Stockwell R.G is a simple and popular technique for the time–frequency analysis. It has been introduced in optical three-dimensional shape measurement, recently. In this paper, a study about applications of S-transform in the demodulation of deformed fringe patterns is performed. We focus on discussing not only the S-transform spectrum filtering technique, the S-transform ridge technique and the phase gradient calculation method based on S-transform used in fringe pattern demodulation, but also the phase unwrapping technique. In addition, a generalized S-transform was introduced to analyze fringe patterns, which is helpful to improve the measurement accuracy and flexibility of the method based on S-transform. The reconstruction results based on S-transform were compared with that on wavelet transform and windowed Fourier transform in fringe analysis.     

Analysis of phase distortion in phase-shifted fringe projection

This paper describes the analysis of phase distortion in phase-shifted fringe projection method. A phase distortion occurs when the phase shifting technique is applied to extract the phase values from projected fringe patterns in surface contouring. The phase distortion will induce measurement errors especially in the measurement of micro-components. The cause of such phase distortion is investigated and the influence of phase distortion on the measurement of micro-components is discussed. To eliminate the phase distortion, a continuous wavelet transform (CWT) is employed to extract phase values from object surface modulated fringe patterns. Principle of the proposed CWT phase extraction method is described and experiments are conducted to verify the proposed method. It is shown that by the use of CWT phase extraction method phase distortion induced in conventional phase-shifting technique can be completely eliminated.     

Computer aided evaluation of fringe patterns

The crucial step in computer aided evaluation of interferometric fringe patterns is the determination of the interference phase distribution from the recorded and stored intensity pattern. Methods for determination of the interference phase distributions from fringe patterns are presented and the most important methods, which are skeletonising, temporary heterodyning, phase shifting and Fourier transform evaluation are compared with regard to experimental requirements, achievable resolution and precision, as well as inherent noise suppression and image enhancement. The comparison shows that whenever phase shifting is possible, it is the best choice. If only one interference pattern is offered, Fourier transform evaluation is recommendable. For demodulation of the wrapped phase a path-independent algorithm is presented. Practical examples are given from holographic interferometric measurements.     

Orthogonal projection technique for resolution enhancement of the Fourier transform fringe analysis method

The spatial resolution of the phase map in the Fourier transform fringe analysis method is determined by the size of the filter’s window in frequency domain. This article reports a straightforward technique to improve the method’s resolution by a factor of nearly two. The technique requires capturing a second image with a fringe pattern orthogonal to the first one, therefore using the information from both patterns to eliminate the central component in frequency space. The resulting spectrum supports double sized filter windows for removal of the carrier frequency without leaking into adjacent orders. The overall spatial resolution of the method is thus increased. In the following, the Fourier fringe analysis method is briefly reviewed, the new technique is described and analyzed and the experimental results are shown and discussed.     

A new method for generating and analysing digital speckle shearing correlation fringe patterns

A method for generating a high visibility digital speckle shearing fringe pattern is proposed. A three-step phase shifting technique which involves the introduction of arbitrary phases is utilized. The phase shifting technique is carried out using a rotating mirror and a theoretical model which involves a linear correlation algorithm is discussed. Experimental results showing correlation fringe patterns and a deformation phase map are presented.     

The use of carrier frequency shifting for the elimination of phase discontinuities in Fourier transform profilometry

This paper presents a novel application of frequency shifting in the Fourier transform fringe analysis technique applied to surface shape measurement. In recent years little use has been made of frequency shifting, although it was a feature of the method as originally proposed. The paper shows that if the angle between fringe projection and viewing is small, it is possible to employ a frequency shift to effectively eliminate the occurrence of any wraps in the resulting phase distribution. This is obviously of value in cases where the object to be measured contains several discontinuities which would lead to a highly complex, maybe unprocessable, wrapped phase distribution. The technique is presented and analysed, and its effects on measurement resolution discussed. It is illustrated with a measurement made on a populated surface mount technology printed circuit board.
