Abstract

This paper presents a general solution for realizing high dynamic range three-dimensional (3-D) shape measurement based on fringe projection. Three concrete techniques are involved in the solution for measuring object with large range of reflectivity (LRR) or one with shiny specular surface. For the first technique, the measured surface reflectivities are sub-divided into several groups based on its histogram distribution, then the optimal exposure time for each group can be predicted adaptively so that the bright as well as dark areas on the measured surface are able to be handled without any compromise. Phase-shifted images are then captured at the calculated exposure times and a composite phase-shifted image is generated by extracting the optimally exposed pixels in the raw fringes images. For the second technique, it is proposed by introducing two orthogonal polarizers which are placed separately in front of the camera and projector into the first technique and the third one is developed by combining the second technique with the strategy of properly altering the angle between the transmission axes of the two polarizers. Experimental results show that the first technique can effectively improve the measurement accuracy of diffuse objects with LRR, the second one is capable of measuring object with weak specular reflection (WSR: e.g. shiny plastic surface) and the third can inspect surface with strong specular reflection (SSR: e.g. highlight on aluminum alloy) precisely. Further, more complex scene, such as the one with LRR and WSR, or even the one simultaneously involving LRR, WSR and SSR, can be measured accurately by the proposed solution.

Methods

Fig. 1. Example of histogram of .

The reflectivity α and the captured image are linear, which means that the variation of can be directly used to represent the variation of reflectivity. To obtain the distribution of , we calculate the histogram of I0, in which the horizontal axis shows the variation of intensity of and vertical one depicts the amount of pixels in that particular . An example of histogram is shown in Fig. 1. The region of light green represents the whole variation range of the captured intensity . By the proposed method, the whole large variation range is further divided into several clusters composed of pixels varying in small range of . Since the pixels within a certain cluster have similar reflectivity, a single exposure would be sufficient for a single cluster.


Fig. 2. Schematic diagram of the Technique II.

To eliminate the effect of specular highlight, polarization method is introduced and Fig. 2 demonstrates its schematic diagram. Two polarized filters are placed in front of the projector and camera respectively. The projected incident light turns into linear polarized light after it passes through the first polarizer and after the reflection occurs on measured object, the original linear polarized light has changed into a compound one composed of diffuse lobe, specular lobe and specular spike.
