Fringe Projection Profilometry Based on Saturated Fringe Restoration in High Dynamic Range Scenes

Abstract

In high dynamic scenes, fringe projection profilometry (FPP) may encounter fringe saturation, and the phase calculated will also be affected to produce errors. This paper proposes a saturated fringe restoration method to solve this problem, taking the four-step phase shift as an example. Firstly, according to the saturation of the fringe group, the concepts of reliable area, shallow saturated area, and deep saturated area are proposed. Then, the parameter A related to the reflectivity of the object in the reliable area is calculated to interpolate A in the shallow and deep saturated areas. The theoretically shallow and deep saturated areas are not known in actual experiments. However, morphological operations can be used to dilate and erode reliable areas to produce cubic spline interpolation areas (CSI) and biharmonic spline interpolation (BSI) areas, which roughly correspond to shallow and deep saturated areas. After A is restored, it can be used as a known quantity to restore the saturated fringe using the unsaturated fringe in the same position, the remaining unrecoverable part of the fringe can be completed using CSI, and then the same part of the symmetrical fringe can be further restored. To further reduce the influence of nonlinear error, the Hilbert transform is also used in the phase calculation process of the actual experiment. The simulation and experimental results validate that the proposed method can still obtain correct results without adding additional equipment or increasing projection number, which proves the feasibility and robustness of the method.

Optimal exposure selection of high dynamic range-based reflection compensation for printed circuit board reconstruction using structured light 3D measurement system

“…However, while this approach eliminates the exposure problem, it may result in a decreased overall signal-to-noise ratio of the images. 3) Algorithm-based methods [9][10][11], such as using linear interpolation to estimate overexposed regions in the fringe image set. This method relies on a sequence of non-overexposed fringes within the set.…”

Dynamic 3D Measurement without Motion Artifacts Based on Feature Compensation

“…FTP is a single-frame raster projection method based on spatial filtering, which requires only one image to reconstruct the target information [ 12 ]. Spectrum aliasing can affect the accuracy of 3D reconstruction [ 13 , 14 ]. When studying object motion, FTP may not meet the requirements for object reconstruction accuracy [ 15 , 16 ].…”

Three-Dimensional Point Cloud-Filtering Method Based on Image Segmentation and Absolute Phase Recovery

“…It exploits visual features such as brightness, color, and shading of light to infer the object's depth and geometric structure by computing the differences or matches between the images, thereby enabling 3D reconstruction. 3D imaging technology based on fringe projection [12][13][14] is a three-dimensional imaging technology that reproduces the reality of measured objects by using patterns with special structures (such as discrete light spots, streak lights, and coded structured lights). However, in the process of 3D measurement, it will be affected by the accuracy of the instrument, environmental changes, and the structure of the measured object itself, which will inevitably generate noisy point clouds.…”
