Phase correction strategy based on structured light fringe projection profilometry

Fringe projection profilometry based on structured light has been widely used in 3-D vision due to its advantages of simple structure, good robustness, and high speed. The principle of this technique is to project multiple orders of stripes on the object, and the camera captures the deformed stripe map. Phase unwrapping and depth map calculation are important steps. Still, in actual situations, phase ambiguity is prone to occur at the edges of the object. In this paper, an adaptive phase segmentation and correction (APSC) method after phase unwrapping is proposed. In order to effectively distinguish the stable area and unstable area of the phase, a boundary identification method is proposed to obtain the structural mask of the phase. A phase compensation method is proposed to improve the phase accuracy. Finally, we obtain the 3-D reconstruction result based on the corrected phase. Specific experimental results verify the feasibility and effectiveness of this method.
