TL;DR: The proposed procedure is based on defining a unique coordinate system for both devices in the structured light system, and thus, a rigidity constraint is introduced into the transformation process, used to derivate a simple function for the simultaneous estimation of the parameters.
Abstract: A procedure is proposed to calibrate a generic structured light system, consisting of one camera and one projector. The proposed pro- cedure is based on defining a unique coordinate system for both devices in the structured light system, and thus, a rigidity constraint is introduced into the transformation process. This constraint is used to derivate a simple function for the simultaneous estimation of the parameters, result- ing in parameters that are more reliable. The performance of the pro- posed procedure is shown on examples of the calibration of two different structured light systems. © 2004 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engi- neers.

TL;DR: The simulations and experimental results show that the proposed generalized phase-shifting algorithm with arbitrary phase-shift values can significantly reduce the influence of the color crosstalk.
Abstract: In order to overcome the limitations of the sequential phase-shifting fringe pattern profilometry for dynamic measurements, a color-channel-based approach is presented. The proposed technique consists of projecting and acquiring a colored image formed by three sinusoidal phase-shifted patterns. Therefore, by using the conventional three-step phase-shifting algorithm, only one color image is required for phase retrieval each time. However, the use of colored fringe patterns leads to a major problem, the color crosstalk, which introduces phase errors when conventional phase-shifting algorithms with fixed phase-shift values are utilized to retrieve the phase. To overcome the crosstalk issue, we propose the use of a generalized phase-shifting algorithm with arbitrary phase-shift values. The simulations and experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can significantly reduce the influence of the color crosstalk.

TL;DR: A new improvement in the RPT technique is presented, which consists in the addition of one term that models the fringe-pattern modulation that can be used for the demodulation of nonnormalized fringe patterns.
Abstract: One of the powerful approaches to demodulate a single fringe pattern is the regularized phase tracking (RPT) technique. Here, a new improvement in the RPT technique is presented. This new improvement consists in the addition of one term that models the fringe-pattern modulation. With this new term, the RPT technique can be used for the demodulation of nonnormalized fringe patterns. The performance of the improved RPT technique is shown on examples of various fringe patterns.

TL;DR: A new framework for phase recovery from a single fringe pattern with closed fringes is proposed, which reduces the closed-fringe-analysis problem to that of choosing the better phase between the two oriented computed phases and then of estimating the local sign.
Abstract: A new framework for phase recovery from a single fringe pattern with closed fringes is proposed. Our algorithm constructs an unwrapped phase from previously computed phases with a simple open-fringe-analysis algorithm, twice applied for analyzing horizontal and vertical oriented fringes, respectively. That reduces the closed-fringe-analysis problem to that of choosing the better phase between the two oriented computed phases and then of estimating the local sign. By propagating the phase sign [and a tilewise constant (DC) term] by regions [here named tiles] instead of a pixelwise phase propagation, our analysis of closed-fringe patterns becomes more robust and faster. Additionally, we propose a multigrid refinement for improving the final computed phase.

TL;DR: In this article, a fast Fourier transform method of topography and interferometry is proposed to discriminate between elevation and depression of the object or wave-front form, which has not been possible by the fringe-contour generation techniques.
Abstract: A fast-Fourier-transform method of topography and interferometry is proposed. By computer processing of a noncontour type of fringe pattern, automatic discrimination is achieved between elevation and depression of the object or wave-front form, which has not been possible by the fringe-contour-generation techniques. The method has advantages over moire topography and conventional fringe-contour interferometry in both accuracy and sensitivity. Unlike fringe-scanning techniques, the method is easy to apply because it uses no moving components.

TL;DR: In this article, a self-scanned 1024 element photodiode array and a minicomputer are used to measure the phase (wavefront) in the interference pattern of an interferometer to lambda/100.
Abstract: A self-scanned 1024 element photodiode array and minicomputer are used to measure the phase (wavefront) in the interference pattern of an interferometer to lambda/100. The photodiode array samples intensities over a 32 x 32 matrix in the interference pattern as the length of the reference arm is varied piezoelectrically. Using these data the minicomputer synchronously detects the phase at each of the 1024 points by a Fourier series method and displays the wavefront in contour and perspective plot on a storage oscilloscope in less than 1 min (Bruning et al. Paper WE16, OSA Annual Meeting, Oct. 1972). The array of intensities is sampled and averaged many times in a random fashion so that the effects of air turbulence, vibrations, and thermal drifts are minimized. Very significant is the fact that wavefront errors in the interferometer are easily determined and may be automatically subtracted from current or subsequent wavefrots. Various programs supporting the measurement system include software for determining the aperture boundary, sum and difference of wavefronts, removal or insertion of tilt and focus errors, and routines for spatial manipulation of wavefronts. FFT programs transform wavefront data into point spread function and modulus and phase of the optical transfer function of lenses. Display programs plot these functions in contour and perspective. The system has been designed to optimize the collection of data to give higher than usual accuracy in measuring the individual elements and final performance of assembled diffraction limited optical systems, and furthermore, the short loop time of a few minutes makes the system an attractive alternative to constraints imposed by test glasses in the optical shop.

TL;DR: A novel systematic method is proposed for accurate and quick calibration of a 3-D shape measurement system based on a structured light technique to enable the projector to "capture" images like a camera, thus making the calibration ofA projector the same as that of a camera.
Abstract: System calibration, which usually involves complicated and time-consuming procedures, is crucial for any 3-D shape measurement system. In this work, a novel systematic method is proposed for accurate and quick calibration of a 3-D shape measurement system we developed based on a structured light technique. The key concept is to enable the projector to "capture" images like a camera, thus making the calibration of a projector the same as that of a camera. With this new concept, the calibration of structured light systems becomes essentially the same as the calibration of traditional stereovision systems, which is well estab- lished. The calibration method is fast, robust, and accurate. It signifi- cantly simplifies the calibration and recalibration procedures of struc- tured light systems. This work describes the principle of the proposed method and presents some experimental results that demonstrate its performance. © 2006 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers.
