Further study of the phase-recovering algorithm for saturated fringe patterns with a larger saturation coefficient in the projection grating phase-shifting profilometry

The phase error will occur when captured fringe patterns are saturated in the projection grating phase-shifting profilometry. The phase-recovering algorithm corresponding to seven-frame phase-shifting method is deduced. The applicability ranges of phase-recovering algorithms corresponding to different phase-shifting methods are studied with different intensity saturation coefficients by a simulative method. Simulative results indicate that the phase error caused by the intensity saturation can be effectively decreased by the phase-recovering algorithm when the saturation coefficient of fringe patterns is within the applicability range of the corresponding phase-recovering algorithm. Furthermore, the applicability range of the phase-recovering algorithm will be extended with the increase of phase-shifting steps. An experimental result is presented to prove the availability of the phase-recovering algorithm.

A novel three-dimensional shape measurement method based on a look-up table

Fringe projection profilometry is widely used for three-dimensional shape measurement. In an oblique-angle projection, the fringe cycle is broadened on the reference plane. Phase errors are mainly caused by the nonlinear gamma of the projector and fringe cycle broadening. This study describes a phase error compensation method to eliminate these phase errors. A look-up table that stores phase errors is constructed for phase error compensation. Based on it, a new height equation is proposed. The experimental results show that the proposed method can compensate for the phase errors of the fringe projection profilometry, thereby improving the measurement accuracy significantly.     

The fluctuating phase error analysis in the digital grating phase-shifting profilometry

The nonlinear response of the experimental system and the saturation of fringe patterns can induce the fluctuating phase error in the projection grating phase-shifting profilometry. Two major factors of the fluctuating phase error are discussed by simulation. The fluctuating phase error caused by the nonlinear response of the system is four times the frequency of the fringe pattern when the conventional four-frame phase extracting algorithm is used. However, such error can be decreased by five-frame algorithm. On the other hand, the fluctuating phase error caused by the fringe saturation is five times the frequency of the fringe pattern by using conventional five-frame phase extracting algorithm. A novel phase recovering algorithm is used to decrease the phase error caused by the saturation. Furthermore, the applicability range of the proposed phase recovering algorithm is analyzed by simulation and experiments with different saturation degree of the fringe pattern and nonlinearity of the measurement system.

Blind phase error suppression for color-encoded digital fringe projection profilometry

Color-encoded digital fringe projection profilometry (CDFPP) has the advantage of fast speed, non-contact and full-field testing. It is one of the most important dynamic three-dimensional (3D) profile measurement techniques. However, due to factors such as color cross-talk and gamma distortion of electro-optical devices, phase errors arise when conventional phase-shifting algorithms with fixed phase shift values are utilized to retrieve phases. In this paper, a simple and effective blind phase error suppression approach based on isotropic n-dimensional fringe pattern normalization (INFPN) and carrier squeezing interferometry (CSI) is proposed. It does not require pre-calibration for the gamma and color-coupling coefficients or the phase shift values. Simulation and experimental works show that our proposed approach is able to effectively suppress phase errors and achieve accurate measurement results in CDFPP.     

Weighted least-squares phase unwrapping algorithm based on derivative variance correlation map

Among different phase unwrapping approaches, the weighted least-squares minimization methods are gaining attention. In these algorithms, weighting coefficient is generated from a quality map. The intrinsic drawbacks of existing quality maps constrain the application of these algorithms. They often fail to handle wrapped phase data contains error sources, such as phase discontinuities, noise and undersampling. In order to deal with those intractable wrapped phase data, a new weighted least-squares phase unwrapping algorithm based on derivative variance correlation map is proposed. In the algorithm, derivative variance correlation map, a novel quality map, can truly reflect wrapped phase quality, ensuring a more reliable unwrapped result. The definition of the derivative variance correlation map and the principle of the proposed algorithm are present in detail. The performance of the new algorithm has been tested by use of a simulated spherical surface wrapped data and an experimental interferometric synthetic aperture radar (IFSAR) wrapped data. Computer simulation and experimental results have verified that the proposed algorithm can work effectively even when a wrapped phase map contains intractable error sources.

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.     

A generalized temporal phase unwrapping algorithm for three-dimensional profilometry

A generalized temporal phase unwrapping algorithm is proposed for absolute phase measurement of object surfaces with complex topography. We first make comments on error analysis of various temporal phase unwrapping (TPU) algorithms and point out problems existing in these techniques. We present a generalized TPU algorithm (GTPU), which eliminates some limitations imposed on the fringe sequence for the classical TPU algorithms. So the desired number of fringes can be determined according to practical situation, leading to a flexible method for phase reconstruction. In addition, compared with the classical TPU algorithms, GTPU has better noise immunity and less computational complexity. Theoretical analysis and experiment results are presented to show the validity of the proposed algorithm.     

Least mean square error difference minimum criterion for adaptive chaotic noise canceller

The least mean square error difference (LMS-ED) minimum criterion for an adaptive chaotic noise canceller is proposed in this paper. Different from traditional least mean square error minimum criterion in which the error is uncorrelated with the input vector, the proposed LMS-ED minimum criterion tries to minimize the correlation between the error difference and input vector difference. The novel adaptive LMS-ED algorithm is then derived to update the weights of adaptive noise canceller. A comparison between cancelling performances of adaptive least mean square (LMS), normalized LMS (NLMS) and proposed LMS-ED algorithms is simulated by using three kinds of chaotic noises. The simulation results clearly show that the proposed algorithm outperforms the LMS and NLMS algorithms in achieving small values of steady-state excess mean square error. Moreover, the computational complexity of the proposed LMS-ED algorithm is the same as that of the standard LMS algorithms.

Gamma-distorted fringe image modeling and accurate gamma correction for fast phase measuring profilometry

In fast phase-measuring profilometry, phase error caused by gamma distortion is the dominant error source. Previous phase-error compensation or gamma correction methods require the projector to be focused for best performance. However, in practice, as digital projectors are built with large apertures, they cannot project ideal focused fringe images. In this Letter, a thorough theoretical model of the gamma-distorted fringe image is derived from an optical perspective, and a highly accurate and easy to implement gamma correction method is presented to reduce the obstinate phase error. With the proposed method, high measuring accuracy can be achieved with the conventional three-step phase-shifting algorithm. The validity of the technique is verified by experiments.
