Pulse-width modulation in defocused three-dimensional fringe projection

Abstract: Shape measurements by fringe projection methods require high-quality sinusoidal fringes. We present a sinusoidal fringe generation technique that utilizes slightly defocused binary fringe projection. The proposed method is a spatial version of the well-known pulse-width modulation (PWM) technique of electrical engineering. PWM is easy to implement using off-the-shelf projectors, and it allows us to overcome the gamma problem (i.e., the nonlinear projector response) in the output light intensity. We will demons… Show more

“…Moreover, since traditional, highly accurate calibration methods tolerate minor deviations from absolute focus, such a nearly focused system, if successful, could employ these calibration methods to produce 3-D measurements of high accuracy. In this endeavor, Ayubi et al [5] proposed modulating the squared binary structured patterns with sinusoidal pulse width modulation to shift the harmonics far away from the fundamental frequency. Thus, even slight deviations from focus (similar to low-pass filtering) could neutralize the harmonics and generate high-quality sinusoidal patterns.…”

“…The recently proposed binary defocusing technique [1] and its variations [2,3] have demonstrated their superiorities over conventional sinusoidal fringe projection techniques for three-dimensional (3D) shape measurement. Yet, it is very difficult for them to produce high-quality 3D shape measurement when the fringe stripes are wide and when the projector is nearly focused [4].…”

“…The aforementioned improved binary defocusing techniques [2,3] are, after all, modifying the patterns in one dimension; yet the desired sinusoidal fringe patterns are two-dimensional (2D) in nature. This indicates that if the binary patterns are modified in both dimensions, better sinusoidal patterns could be generated.…”
