A 3D reconstruction method based on one-dimensional galvanometer laser scanning system

Abstract

The line-structured light galvanometer scanning system projects the laser light strip onto the object by swinging the mirror to realize the 3D profile measurement of the object. It has the advantages of compact structure, fast measurement speed and strong adaptability to complex environments. In this paper, a three-dimensional scanning system based on a line laser, a one-dimensional galvanometer and an industrial camera is constructed, and a new mathematical model of one-dimensional galvanometer laser scanner is derived. On this basis, a high-precision and simple calibration method of the laser scanning system is proposed. Compared with other methods, this method takes into account the rotation angle error caused by the installation of the galvanometer. The whole calibration process only needs a freely moving chessboard instead of a precision electric stage for operation, which is very easy and convenient for on-site use. The experimental results show that the measurement system calibrated by the proposed method has an average relative deviation of 0.14% for the distance measurement of ceramic balls, and successfully achieved 3D reconstruction of plaster objects with complex surfaces and metal parts with high or low reflectivity.
