Fringe projection profilometry method with high efficiency, precision, and convenience: theoretical analysis and development by Lv, Shenzhen, Tang, Dawei, Zhang, Xuejun, Yang, Dongyu, Deng, Weijie, Qian, Kemao

“…Our study indeed reveals a series of important system properties, to the best of our knowledge, for the first time: (i) in phase measurement, the optimal and worst fringe angles are proven perpendicular and parallel to epipolar line, respectively, and can be considered as system parameters and can be directly made available during traditional calibration, highlighting the significance of the epipolar line; (ii) in correspondence, when two sets of fringes with different fringe orientations are projected, the highest correspondence precision can be achieved with arbitrary orientations as long as these two orientations are perpendicular to each other; (iii) in reconstruction, a higher reconstruction precision is given by the 4-equation methods, while we notice that the 3-equation methods are almost dominatingly used in literature. Based on these theoretical results, we propose a novel FPP measurement method which (i) only projects one set of fringes with optimal fringe angle to explicitly work together with the epipolar line for precise pixel correspondence; (ii) for the first time, the optimal fringe angle is determined directly from the calibration parameters, instead of being measured; (iii) uses 4 equations for precise 3D reconstruction but we can remove one equation which is equivalent to an epipolar line, making it the first algorithm that can use 3-equation solution to achieve 4-equation precision. …”
