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.     

相位编码条纹投影轮廓术的相位展开误差校正方法

相位编码法是条纹投影技术中常用的一种相位展开方法。然而,受到随机噪声、图像采样、系统离焦等因素的影响,条纹阶次与包裹相位的对应关系容易被破坏,从而引入相位展开误差。根据相位展开误差的分布特点,提出一种附加二值条纹的相位展开误差校正方法。引入的二值条纹与相位编码条纹的码字存在半周期错位,使得计算出的2组条纹阶次值具有互补性,利用两者的互补性可以有效地消除相位展开误差。仿真和真实实验均表明,该方法能够准确地恢复出被测物体的绝对相位,具有较高的可靠性。     

Dynamic 3-D shape measurement method based on FTP

In this paper, we propose a method for dynamic three-dimensional (3-D) shape measurement based on Fourier transform profilometry. A sequence of dynamic deformed fringe images can be grabbed by a CCD camera and saved on a disk rapidly. By a Fourier transform, filtering and inverse Fourier transform, a sequence of phase-maps can be obtained. By unwrapping these phase maps in 3-D phase space, we can obtain the shape of the dynamic object at different times. In this paper we also propose the algorithm of a phase difference between two deformed fringes, and the 3-D phase unwrapping method based on the phase difference algorithm. The computer simulation and experiment results show that this method can efficiently deal with the dynamic 3-D shape measurement.     

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.

A fast,accurate phase unwrapping method for wavelet-transform profilometry

A novel phase unwrapping method used in wavelet-transform profilometry is presented to improve the accuracy and speed of the unwrapping process. The wrapped phase of the fringe image is extracted by using wavelet transform. How to establish quality map using scale factor at wavelet ridge is discussed firstly. The proposed method can reflect the reliability of the pixels in fringe image effectively. As the consuming time of traditional flood-fill phase unwrapping algorithm is too long, an improved quality-guided method is used in phase unwrapping process. We divide the wrapped phase map into two levels following the established quality map, and process these two levels using different algorithms. Compared with the traditional flood-fill algorithm, we can get the accurate result while the consuming time of the phase unwrapping process is much less by using the proposed method. Simulation and experiment results verify that the 3D information of the measured object can be obtained rapidly and accurately by using the proposed method. Also the dynamic object can be measured too.     

Fourier transform profilometry: : a review

Fourier transform profilometry is one of the popular non-contact 3-D measurement methods, where a Ronchi grating or sinusoidal grating is projected onto a diffuse three-dimensional surface, and the resulting deformed grating image is detected by a CCD camera and processed by a computer. This method requires only one frame (or two frames) of the deformed fringe pattern in some algorithms to retrieve the surface of measured object, so it has obvious advantage for real time data acquisition and 3-D measurement of dynamic process. In this paper, we review some algorithms in FTP, discuss some important problems, including frequency spectra overlapping, phase unwrapping, sampling, and 3-D measurement of dynamic process. With the development of computer hardware and software and availability of high-resolution image grabber, FTP method will be a promising one for acquiring 3-D data of object, and more and more researchers pay attention to it.

A robust profilometer is proposed to measure 3-D object shapes based on a regularized phase tracker that is capable of demodulating fringe patterns with a high noise presence and broad bandwidth due to the object shape. As shown herein, the technique acts as an adaptive filter and is capable of giving the detected phase continuously so that no further unwrapping process is required. Experimental results of real surface profiles are presented.     

傅里叶变换轮廓术中滤波窗方位选择研究

在傅里叶变换轮廓术频域滤波过程中通常采用不对称的汉宁窗滤波窗来提取基频信号,当投影呈二维变化的光栅条纹时,采用的滤波窗长短轴方向和载频方向不吻合,会导致被测物体的部分高频信息丢失,从而影响相位展开的难易程度和系统测量的精度。分析比较物体高度的分布与频谱的关系,通过旋转滤波窗使其短轴方向与载频方向一致,可以保留物体的高频信息,降低相位展开的复杂度,提高测量的精确度。计算机模拟和实物实验结果表明滤波窗旋转滤波可以避免相位展开在物体高度突变处的出错,有效地提高测量精度。

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。

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.     

Realization of Absolute‐Phase Unwrapping and Speckle Suppression in Laser Digital Holography

In this paper, an absolute‐phase unwrapping and speckle suppression approach to reconstruct a three‐dimensional (3‐D) image of an object with laser digital holography is described. This method offers three advantages to enhance the performance of the phase reconstruction technique. First, both speckle suppression and phase unwrapping are processed in the complex amplitude domain rather than in the single phase or amplitude domain. With this approach, the phase details of the object are better preserved upon phase reconstruction. Second, the proposed algorithm requires no threshold determination and thus achieves self‐adaptive speckle suppression and robust phase unwrapping, in contrast to other methods. Finally, an improved dual‐domain image denoising method is applied to further remove speckle‐remnant‐induced phase distortion. Ideal 3‐D phase reconstruction results are obtained both theoretically and experimentally for the first time.     

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.
