Summary
This study introduces a novel coaxial fringe projection profilometry (FPP) system using dual biprisms to overcome occlusion and shadow issues in 3D shape measurement of complex surfaces.
Area of Science:
- Optical Metrology
- 3D Shape Measurement
- Computer Vision
Background:
- Fringe projection profilometry (FPP) is a common technique for 3D shape measurement due to its accuracy and simple hardware.
- Standard FPP systems struggle with complex surfaces, leading to occlusion and shadows, limiting their application.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop an improved FPP method that minimizes occlusion and shadows for complex 3D surface reconstruction.
- To present a low-cost, mechanically simple coaxial measurement system.
Main Methods:
- A coaxial measurement system utilizing dual biprisms was designed and implemented.
- The system leverages geometric constraints from the biprisms for 3D surface reconstruction without mechanical movement.
Main Results:
- Experimental validation was performed on surfaces with significant height changes.
- The proposed dual-biprism coaxial FPP method successfully achieved shadow-free 3D measurements.
Conclusions:
- The dual-biprism coaxial FPP system effectively addresses occlusion and shadow problems in 3D shape measurement.
- This method offers a practical and accurate solution for measuring complex geometries.

Learning to draw Fischer projections of molecules and understanding their relevance plays a crucial role in the visual depiction of organic molecules. A Fischer projection is a two-dimensional projection on a planar surface to simplify the three-dimensional wedge–dash representation of molecules. This is especially helpful in the case of molecules with multiple chiral centers that can be difficult to draw. Here, all the bonds of interest are represented as horizontal or vertical lines.

Phase-Contrast Microscopes
In-phase-contrast microscopes, interference between light directly passing through a cell and light refracted by cellular components is used to create high-contrast, high-resolution images without staining. It is the oldest and simplest type of microscope that creates an image by altering the wavelengths of light rays passing through the specimen. Altered wavelength paths are created using an annular stop in the condenser. The annular stop produces a hollow cone of...
