Abstract:
The nonlinear intensity response of a digital fringe-projection-profilometry (FPP) system causes the captured fringe patterns to be nonsinusoidal waveforms, which results in phase error and therefore measurement error. The theoretical analysis of the phase error due to the nonsinusoidal waveforms in Hilbert transform FPP is performed. Based on the derived phase-error expression, a cubic spline-smoothing method is proposed to eliminate the nonsinusoidal phase error. Experiments show that the proposed algorithm can be used for effective phase-error elimination in practical Hilbert transform FPP.

Graphical and Analytic Representation of Sinusoids
The first step is measuring the peak-to-peak value, which is twice the amplitude of the sinusoid. This provides information about the maximum voltage swing of the waveform.
Secondly, the period and angular frequency are determined. The period is the time taken for one complete cycle of the waveform, while...

When the derivative of a sinusoid is taken in the time domain, it transforms into its corresponding phasor multiplied by j-omega (jω) in the phasor domain, where j is the imaginary unit, and ω is the angular frequency.
