Phase-measuring deflectometry (PMD)-based methods have been widely used in the measurement of the three-dimensional (3D) shape of specular objects, and the existing PMD methods utilize visible light. However, specular surfaces are sensitive to ambient light. As a result, the reconstructed 3D shape is affected by the external environment in actual measurements. To overcome this problem, an infrared PMD (IR-PMD) method is proposed to measure specular objects by directly establishing the relationship between absolute phase and depth data for the first time. Moreover, the proposed method can measure discontinuous surfaces. In addition, a new geometric calibration method is proposed by combining fringe projection and fringe reflection. The proposed IR-PMD method uses a projector to project IR sinusoidal fringe patterns onto a ground glass, which can be regarded as an IR digital screen. The IR fringe patterns are reflected by the measured specular surfaces, and the deformed fringe patterns are captured by an IR camera. A multiple-step phase-shifting algorithm and the optimum three-fringe number selection method are applied to the deformed fringe patterns to obtain wrapped and unwrapped phase data, respectively. Then, 3D shape data can be directly calculated by the unwrapped phase data on the screen located in two positions. The results here presented validate the effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed method. It can be used to measure specular components in the application fields of advanced manufacturing, automobile industry, and aerospace industry.

Phase measuring deflectometry has been widely studied as a way of obtaining the three-dimensional shape of specular objects. Recently, a new direct phase measuring deflectometry technique has been developed to measure the three-dimensional shape of specular objects that have discontinuous and/or isolated surfaces. However, accurate calibration of the system parameters is an important step in direct phase measuring deflectometry. This paper proposes a new calibration method that uses phase information to obtain the system parameters. Phase data are used to accurately calibrate the relative orientation of two liquid crystal display screens in a camera coordinate system, by generating and displaying horizontal and vertical sinusoidal fringe patterns on the two screens. The results of the experiments with an artificial specular step and a concave mirror showed that the proposed calibration method can build a highly accurate relationship between the absolute phase map and the depth data.

Three-dimensional (3D) shape measurement based on hue-height mapping using color-encoded fringe projection is proposed for thin objects. The projected color-encoded fringe pattern is encoded by three sinusoidal fringe patterns with 2π/3 shift phase in between into red (R), green (G) and blue (B) channels, separately. It is found that the hue component is of periodicity with the same period as the sinusoidal fringe pattern in the R channel of the color-encoded fringe and the hue distribution in a period is of monotonicity. While this color-encoded fringe pattern is projected onto an object, as long as the deformation of the captured deformed color fringe pattern is not out of a period, the 3D shape of the measured object can be reconstructed directly by hue-height mapping. This method is concise and fast with no color calibration to remove color crosstalk and no time-consuming phase extraction or phase unwrapping. The experimental results show the feasibility and the practicability of the proposed method.

Despite the potential of the technique, electron tomography has yet to be widely used by biologists. This is in part related to the rather daunting list of equipment and expertise that are required. Thanks to continuing advances in theory and instrumentation, tomography is now more feasible for the non-specialist. One barrier that has essentially disappeared is the expense of computational resources. In view of this progress, it is time to give more attention to practical issues that need to be considered when embarking on a tomographic project. The following recommendations and comments are derived from experience gained during two long-term collaborative projects.Tomographic reconstruction results in a three dimensional description of an individual EM specimen, most commonly a section, and is therefore applicable to problems in which ultrastructural details within the thickness of the specimen are obscured in single micrographs. Information that can be recovered using tomography includes the 3D shape of particles, and the arrangement and dispostion of overlapping fibrous and membranous structures.

3D Profile

Fast-starts are brief, sudden accelerations used by fish during predator-prey encounters. In this paper, a three-dimensional (3D) test and analysis method is critical to understand the function of the pectoral fin during maneuvers. An experiment method based on Fourier Transform Profilometry for 3D pectoral fin profile variety during fish maneuvers is proposed. This method was used in a carp fast-start during prey. Projecting the moiré fringes onto a carp pectoral fin it will produce the deformed fringe patterns contain 3D information. A high speed camera captures these time-sequence images. By Fourier transform, filter, inverse Fourier transform and unwrap these phase maps in 3D phase space, the complex pectoral fin profile variety were really reconstructed. The present study provides a new method to quantify the analysis of kinetic characteristic of the pectoral fin during maneuvers.

AbstractSpatial resolution in three-dimensional fringe projection profilometry is determined in large part by the number and spacing of fringes projected onto an object. Due to the intensity-based nature of fringe projection profilometry, fringe patterns must be generated in succession, which is time-consuming. As a result, the surface features of highly dynamic objects are difficult to measure. Here, we introduce multispectral fringe projection profilometry, a novel method that utilizes multispectral illumination to project a multispectral fringe pattern onto an object combined with a multispectral camera to detect the deformation of the fringe patterns due to the object. The multispectral camera enables the detection of 8 unique monochrome fringe patterns representing 4 distinct directions in a single snapshot. Furthermore, for each direction, the camera detects two π-phase shifted fringe patterns. Each pair of fringe patterns can be differenced to generate a differential fringe pattern that corrects for illumination offsets and mitigates the effects of glare from highly reflective surfaces. The new multispectral method solves many practical problems related to conventional fringe projection profilometry and doubles the effective spatial resolution. The method is suitable for high-quality fast 3D profilometry at video frame rates.

An extended robot–world and hand–eye calibration method is proposed in this paper to evaluate the transformation relationship between the camera and robot device. This approach could be performed for mobile or medical robotics applications, where precise, expensive, or unsterile calibration objects, or enough movement space, cannot be made available at the work site. Firstly, a mathematical model is established to formulate the robot-gripper-to-camera rigid transformation and robot-base-to-world rigid transformation using the Kronecker product. Subsequently, a sparse bundle adjustment is introduced for the optimization of robot–world and hand–eye calibration, as well as reconstruction results. Finally, a validation experiment including two kinds of real data sets is designed to demonstrate the effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed approach. The translation relative error of rigid transformation is less than 8/10,000 by a Denso robot in a movement range of 1.3 m × 1.3 m × 1.2 m. The distance measurement mean error after three-dimensional reconstruction is 0.13 mm.
