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 demonstrate that, with a small defocusing level--lower than with other techniques proposed in the literature--a high-quality sinusoidal pattern is obtained. Validation experiments using a commercial video projector are presented.

Three-dimensional shape measurement with binary dithered patterns.

TL;DR: Both simulation and experimental results show the phase error is always less than 0.6% even when the fringe stripes are wide and the projector is nearly focused, so the binary dithering technique can be used to conquer this challenge.

Generic nonsinusoidal phase error correction for three-dimensional shape measurement using a digital video projector

TL;DR: It is proved that this algorithm is generic for any phase-shifting algorithm, and a new LUT generation method is proposed by analyzing the captured fringe image of a flat board directly, which can reduce the phase error to at least 13 times smaller.
