Fourier transform profilometry based on composite structured light pattern

In Fourier transform profilometry (FTP), the zero frequency of the imaged patterns will influence the measurement range and precision. The π phase shifting technique is usually used to eliminate the zero order component, but this method requires the capture of two fringe patterns with a π phase difference between them, which will impede the real time application of the method. In this paper, a novel method is proposed, in which a composite structured light pattern is projected onto the object. The composite structured light pattern is formed by modulating two separate fringe patterns with a π phase difference along the orthogonal direction of the two distinct carrier frequencies. This method can eliminate the zero frequency by using only one fringe pattern. Experiments show that there is no decrease in the precision of this novel method compared with the traditional π phase shifting technique.     

Fourier transform profilometry based on defocusing

Sinusoidal fringe patterns are popularly used in conventional Fourier transform profilometry. There are numerous harmonics in the Fourier spectrum, so as to avoid spectrum overlapping; the maximum range of measurement is limited. The present paper studies FTP based on properly defocusing a binary square wave. There are only odd harmonics in the Fourier spectrum of a binary square wave, and the maximum range of measurement is expanded 1.5 times. Defocusing has a low-pass filtering effect and higher-order odd harmonics are suppressed. Therefore, the fundamental spectrum is easy to extract. The proposed method overcomes the filtering problem of conventional FTP. Measurement experiments show that the proposed method has a good measurement result and the measurement accuracy is improved.

Fourier transform profilometry: : a review

Fourier transform profilometry is one of the popular non-contact 3-D measurement methods, where a Ronchi grating or sinusoidal grating is projected onto a diffuse three-dimensional surface, and the resulting deformed grating image is detected by a CCD camera and processed by a computer. This method requires only one frame (or two frames) of the deformed fringe pattern in some algorithms to retrieve the surface of measured object, so it has obvious advantage for real time data acquisition and 3-D measurement of dynamic process. In this paper, we review some algorithms in FTP, discuss some important problems, including frequency spectra overlapping, phase unwrapping, sampling, and 3-D measurement of dynamic process. With the development of computer hardware and software and availability of high-resolution image grabber, FTP method will be a promising one for acquiring 3-D data of object, and more and more researchers pay attention to it.     

Windowed Fourier transform profilometry based on improved S-transform

A novel method for windowed Fourier transform (WFT) profilometry is presented. This method is based on improved S-transform. The impact of the second order derivative of the phase (φ^'(b)) to the ridge of S-transform is derived, and how to estimate this deviation is discussed. An important conclusion that more accurate instantaneous frequency can be obtained after removing this deviation is shown. Thus, an accurate phase map of the fringe pattern is obtained by using the WFT based on the window size map, and this map is related to the instantaneous frequency. The method is compared with the WFT based on the wavelet transform. A numerical simulation and experimental example have shown its validity in practical applications.

Error analysis about CCD sampling in Fourier transform profilometry

The influence of sampling caused by 2-D solid-state image sensors (CCD) in FTP is discussed in this paper. As we all know, discrete fringe patterns processed by computer are obtained through two samplings. The first one is accomplished in the CCD image plane, and the second is accomplished in A/D convertor of frame grabber. In the previous analysis, sampling is just regarded as a point-sampling process because of ignoring the actual sensor structure of a CCD in the sampling process. Here we discuss the influence of the sensor structure of CCD in FTP, especially the influence from the light-sensitive area size variation. Certain formulas about sampling influence are given, and some simulations and a primary experimental demonstration are carried out to verify our analysis.     

傅里叶变换轮廓术中二维非对称滤波器的设计

傅里叶变换轮廓术(FTP)复原三维形貌时，用来提取基频成分的带通滤波器对测量精度有很大影响。传统二维滤波器如汉宁窗或高斯窗为对称滤波器，其截止频率的大小受条纹空间频率即基频与零频间的距离所限，经常会导致基频成分提取不完整，有用信息缺失。为解决此问题，在二维汉宁滤波器基础上，提出一种椭圆形底部形状的二维非对称滤波器，在不同频率方向上具有不同的频率响应和截止频率，可提取出更为完整的基频成分。台阶和阵列物体的模拟实验表明，二维非对称滤波器对2个物体的复原精度相比于传统汉宁滤波器分别提高了39.5%和55.6%。

Method for eliminating zero spectrum in Fourier transform profilometry

Windowed Fourier transform (FT) is introduced into Fourier transform profilometry (FTP) to extract zero component included in deformed fringe pattern without capturing two fringe patterns with π phase difference. First, we extract zero component of deformed fringe image using windowed FT and normalize it, then calculate the normalized Fourier spectra of deformed fringe image, finally subtract the zero component from Fourier spectra of deformed fringe image. We give the theoretical analysis of the proposed method. The experiment is carried out to demonstrate that the method can eliminate zero component and extend the measurable slope of height variation to nearly three times of the conventional FTP.

A novel Fourier transform profilometry based on dual-frequency grating

The projecting grating method is used to measure the profile of the object. When the object has the steps shape or there are shadows in the grating stripes, the disconnected phase cannot be correctly unwrapped. In order to resolve these problems, the dual-frequency grating is programmed by the computer. And it is projected to the measurement object. The measurement object is placed on the exact rotary platform. After getting two images, the two images are mosaiced, the clear object image modulated by the grating is got. Then a novel Fourier transform profilometry is used to process the image, and the filter is designed to filter the high frequency and the low frequency. The phase difference of high frequency is worked out based on that of the low frequency. At last, the three dimension profile measurement is realized. Comparing with the traditional Fourier transform profile, the method cuts down three times frequency shifting reduces the calculation time and improves filter precision. The result indicates that the method is simple, with high precision. Three dimension profile measurement of the object that has the steps shape or there are shadows in its grating stripes can be successfully resolved.

Improved discrete fractional Fourier transform

The fractional Fourier transform is a useful mathematical operation that generalizes the well-known continuous Fourier transform. Several discrete fractional Fourier transforms (DFRFT's) have been developed, but their results do not match those of the continuous case. We propose a new DFRFT. This improved DFRFT provides transforms similar to those of the continuous fractional Fourier transform and also retains the rotation properties.
