Multi-wavelength digital-phase-shifting moiré was demonstrated using multiple moiré wavelengths determined by system calibration over the full working depth. The method uses the extended noisy phase map as a reference to unwrap the phase map with a shorter wavelength, and thus achieve a less noisy and more accurate continuous phase map. The moiré wavelength calibration determines a moiré-wavelength to height relationship that permits pixelwise refinement of the moiré wavelength and height during 3D reconstruction. Only a single pattern has to be projected and, thus, a single image captured to compute each phase map with a different wavelength to perform digital-phase-shifting moiré temporal phase unwrapping. Only two captured images are required for two-wavelength phase unwrapping and three captured images for three-wavelength phase unwrapping. The method has been demonstrated in the 3D surface-shape measurement of an object with surface discontinuities and spatially isolated objects.

Phase-shifting interferometry on structured light projection is widely used in 3-D surface measurement. An investigation shows that least-squares fitting can significantly decrease random error by incorporating data from the intermediate phase values, but it cannot completely eliminate nonlinear error. This paper proposes an error-reduction method based on double three-step phase-shifting algorithm and least-squares fitting, and applies it on the temporal phase unwrapping algorithm using three-frequency heterodyne principle. Theoretical analyses and experiment results show that this method can greatly save data acquisition time and improve the precision.
