Modification of the surface state of rough substrates by two different varnishes and influence on the reflected light

Modification of the visual appearance when a rough surface is covered by a varnish is mostly attributed to the levelling of the substrate surface, which depends on the molecular weight of the varnish. The topography of varnished surfaces, however, has never been measured directly. Surfaces of varnishes applied over glass substrates of varying roughness were studied, therefore, using mechanical profilometry. Two different varnishes made with a low and a high molecular weight resin were studied. Both varnishes lower the r.m.s. roughness of the substrates and filter the high spatial frequencies. These results are amplified for the varnish containing the low molecular weight resin. The light reflected by the varnished samples is modelled from these topographical data. Its angular distribution, calculated from the probability density of slopes is presented, taking into account separately the air/varnish and the varnish/substrate interfaces. These analyses are presented in a back-scattering configuration. They show that varnishing significantly reduces the angular width of the reflected light and that this effect is magnified for the low molecular weight resin. Modelling furthermore shows that the influence of the roughness of the varnish/substrate interface is negligible in the total reflected light.     

Microstructure effect on microtopography of chemically etched α + β Ti alloys

Microstructure effect on chemical etching behavior of the annealed Ti-6Al-4V and Ti-3Al-2.5V titanium (Ti) alloys was compared with that of unalloyed commercially pure titanium. The microstructural evolution of structure phases after annealing the titanium and its alloys at temperature near and above β transus and followed by furnace cooling to room temperature was studied using optical microscope, scanning electron microscope and X-ray diffraction techniques. The microstructure study illustrates that the heat treatment enhanced partitioning effect allows extensive formation of hemispherical and near spherical pits roughened surface to be readily acquired by chemically etching the annealed α + β titanium alloys. The kinetics of the chemical etching reaction process show a linear dependence on time. The annealed α + β titanium alloys that exhibit relatively lower weight loss and thickness reduction rate illustrate less chemical activity than the annealed unalloyed titanium.

Linear calibration procedure for the phase-to-height relationship in phase measurement profilometry

Calibration of the relationship between height and phase is of uttermost importance to perform accurate 3D measurements in phase measurement profilometry. This work reports a different approach to this problem by first looking at the analytical expression for this relationship and determining the regime spanned by the fringe analysis method. The conclusions thus ascertained, amply justify confronting the analytical expression with a simple normalization procedure of the experimental data, with a remarkable matching between both results. In light of this, a linear calibration procedure with just one plane is proposed and verified experimentally.     

基于虚拟相位平面的相位展开方法

在基于相位分析的三维测量系统中,为了准确地得到物体的高度,相位展开扮演着很重要的角色。传统的相位展开方法常常需要额外的投影图,而傅里叶变换轮廓术只需要采集一幅或两幅变形条纹图就可以实现对物体轮廓的测量,其方法速度快,易于实现。针对傅里叶变换轮廓术方法计算得到的截断相位分布,本文提出了一种利用截断相位与参考平面相位差值2π的整数倍数获得截断相位的正确级次,辅助相位展开的方法。当被测物体较复杂,或者相位截断次数较多时,该方法在已有参考平面相位的基础上虚拟新的相位平面,依次比较截断相位和虚拟相位,进行多次分级相位展开,结合多个展开相位结果,最终得到正确的展开相位。该方法展开速度快,展开错误不会蔓延传递。仿真和实物实验结果证明了该方法的可行性,说明该方法可用于傅里叶变换轮廓术中进行截断相位的快速展开。

Miniaturized 3-D surface profilometer using a fiber optic coupler

A 3-D surface profilometer is described which uses a simple fiber optic coupler to form a Young's double pinhole interferometer. The Young's fringes are projected onto a surface, captured by a camera and analyzed using the Fourier transform method. The phase of the fringe pattern on the object is used to reconstruct the surface profile. System analysis, results from a simulation, and preliminary experimental results are provided which indicate a system resolution on the order of a tenth of a millimeter.     

Improved spatial phase detection for profilometry using a TDI imager

Performance of a time delay and integration (TDI) imager is analogous to a drum/periphery camera. Coupled to a modulated line generating laser diode, it is possible to use a TDI imager to encode the shape profile of a rotating cylindrical object as deformed gratings in a digital image. Among the various methods for extracting the phase from a deformed grating, the spatial phase detection (SPD) method is fast and easy to use. Errors are introduced in this method if the phase gradient is high over a grating interval. Here we propose a method to reduce the phase gradient by using a TDI feature which makes it possible to record images at variable lateral magnification.     

Calibration of a structured-light projection system: Development to large dimension objects

In this study, performances of the profilometry method based on structured-light projection are analyzed in the case of a large dimension object and a short distance from the acquisition system. This work is based on the calibration procedure introduced by Brèque et al. After the evaluation of Brèque's pinhole model, a new calibration procedure based on polynomial transformations is proposed. The proposed work is founded on a systematic study of different degrees of a polynomial form. Random and systematic errors are calculated to show accuracies for polynomial degrees equal to 1, 2, 3 and 4. Different sources of errors are presented and discussed. The developed calibration is applied to a human body and a human-size dummy.
