Dynamic 3-D shape measurement in an unlimited depth range based on adaptive pixel-by-pixel phase unwrapping

2020 
Pixel-by-pixel phase unwrapping (PPU) has been employed to rapidly achieve three-dimensional (3-D) shape measurement without additional projection patterns. However, the maximum measurement depth range that traditional PPU can handle is within 2π in phase domain; thus PPU fails to measure the dynamic object surface when the object moves in a large depth range. In this paper, we propose a novel adaptive pixel-by-pixel phase unwrapping (APPU), which extends PPU to an unlimited depth range. First, with PPU, temporary phase maps of objects are obtained referring to the absolute phase map of a background plane. Second, we quantify the difference between the image edges of the temporary phase maps and the practical depth edges of dynamic objects. Moreover, according to the degree of the edge difference, the temporary phase maps are categorized into two classes: failed phase maps and relative phase maps. Third, by combining a mobile reference phase map and the edge difference quantization technique, the failed phase maps are correspondently converted into relative phase maps. Finally, the relative phase maps are innovatively transformed into the absolute phase maps using a new shadow-informed depth estimation method (SDEM). The proposed approach is suitable for high-speed 3-D shape measurement without depth limitations or additional projection patterns.
