High-speed three-dimensional shape measurement with inner shifting-phase fringe projection profilometry

Fringe projection profilometry(FPP) has been extensively studied in the field of three-dimensional(3D) measurement.Although FPP always uses high-frequency fringes to ensure high measurement accuracy, too many patterns are projected to unwrap the phase, which affects the speed of 3D reconstruction. We propose a high-speed 3D shape measurement method using only three high-frequency inner shifting-phase patterns (70 periods), which satisfies both high precision and high measuring speed requirements...

Lens distortion elimination for improving measurement accuracy of fringe projection profilometry

Fringe projection profilometry (FPP) is a powerful method for three-dimensional (3D) shape measurement. However, the measurement accuracy of the existing FPP is often hindered by the distortion of the lens used in FPP. In this paper, a simple and efficient method is presented to overcome this problem. First, the FPP system is calibrated as a stereovision system. Then, the camera lens distortion is eliminated by correcting the captured images. For the projector lens distortion, distorted fringe patterns are generated according to the lens distortion model. With these distorted fringe patterns, the projector can project undistorted fringe patterns, which means that the projector lens distortion is eliminated. Experimental results show that the proposed method can successfully eliminate the lens distortions of FPP and therefore improves its measurement accuracy.     

Calibration of fringe projection profilometry with bundle adjustment strategy

The measurement accuracy of fringe projection profilometry (FPP) largely depends on the calibration procedure. A more reliable calibration approach based on the stereo vision model of the FPP scheme in conjunction with the bundle adjustment strategy is presented. It can adjust the coordinates of benchmarks and thereby estimate the scheme parameters more accurately even with an imperfect target. The experiment results shows that the proposed approach can reach highly accurate calibration by solely using a printed target pattern, which verifies the proposed approach.

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.     

Real-time three-dimensional infrared imaging using fringe projection profilometry

Infrared thermography determines the surface temperature of an object or human body. It is a promising imaging technology for medical and biological observations due to its contactless and completely non- invasive properties. However, traditional two-dimensional （2D） infrared thermography cannot retain the spatial information, and thus provides only qualitative diagnosis information. A novel real-time three- dimensional （3D） infrared imaging system which takes full advantages of high-speed, high-quality, high- sensitivity, and low-cost in 3D thermograph is presented. We demonstrate the real-time 3D thermal imaging at the speed of 24 frmnes per second （fps）, with resolution of 640 ×480 points. Experimental results demonstrate quantitatively measurement of temperature distribution of 3D surfaces in real-time is realized with this system.

A study on carrier-removal techniques in fringe projection profilometry

This paper describes a comparison of several carrier-removal techniques normally used in fringe projection for surface shape measurement. The performance of various algorithms, including the necessity for manual intervention, the complexity in data recording, and the side effect on measurement accuracy, is evaluated. The applicability of nonlinear carrier removal and the restrictions on the direction of carrier fringe in various algorithms are also investigated in this paper. It is also shown that an advanced algorithm is able to achieve carrier removal with minimal manual intervention and significantly simplify the calibration process of a fringe projection system.     

Least-squares calibration method for fringe projection profilometry with some practical considerations

Fringe projection profilometry (FPP) is a widely used three-dimensional profile measurement technique. One vital step in this technique is calibration, which determines the system accuracy. The least-squares method, because of its flexibility and simplicity, is commonly used in system calibration for FPP. However, calibration results are affected by the nonlinear gamma of the projector and projection fringe cycle broadening. This paper proposes a new look-up table (LUT) generation method by analyzing the differences between the real and ideal unwrapped phases. The aforementioned problems could then be solved after the phase error is compensated by the LUT. Finally, the validity of the proposed method is demonstrated through experiments, and the accuracy reaches 0.02 mm.     

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.

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.

Three-dimensional profilometry by symmetrical fringes projection technique

A precise interferometric method for three-dimensional surface measurements in a wide dynamic range is presented. The method is based on symmetrical two-spacing projection phase-stepping interferometry. Two approaches are proposed—one with double symmetrical illumination and the other with double symmetrical observation—which reduce influence of shadowing at investigation of complex surfaces and allow absolute coordinates estimation. The theoretical background, experimental check as well as accuracy and sensitivity assessment of the method are discussed. The proposed technique is especially useful for remote, non-destructive in-situ measurements of real objects—for example historical objects and monuments.

Multi-frequency inverse-phase fringe projection profilometry for nonlinear phase error compensation

A new multi-frequency inverse-phase method was proposed to compensate for nonlinear phase errors in fringe projection profilometry and to measure the three-dimensional shape of discontinuous objects. After introducing a phase offset of π/4 into the multi-frequency four-step phase-shifting method the corresponding nonlinear phase error reversed its sign, which allowed the addition of unwrapped phases before and after the phase-offset operation to compensate for the error. For the four-step phase-shifting method, simulation analysis showed that the nonlinear phase error had quadrupled the fringe frequency. Moreover, experimental results verified the feasibility and applicability of the proposed method.
