Dynamic 3D measurement based on orthogonal fringe projection and geometric constraints

Geometric constraint algorithms can solve phase ambigu -ity for fringe projection profilometry (FPP). However, they either require multiple cameras or suffer from a small measurement depth range. To overcome these limitations, this Letter proposes an algorithm combining orthogonal fringe projection and geometric constraints. A novel, to the best of our knowledge, scheme is developed to assess the relia-bilities of the potential homologous points, which works with depth segmentation to determine the final HPs. With full consideration of lens distortions, the algorithm reconstructs two 3D results from every set of patterns. Experimental results verify that it can effectively and robustly measure dis-continuous objects with complex motion over a large depth range. (c) 2022 Optica Publishing Group
