Abstract
A virtual binocular line-structured light measurement method based on a plane mirror is proposed. A checkerboard target and its virtual image in a front coating plane mirror are captured by a camera in a single picture. The target is imaged in several positions to determine the spatial relationship between the camera and plane mirror. The centers of light stripes are matched with its mirror images by the vanishing point constraint between the checkerboard coplanar point and its corresponding mirrored point. By scanning the object on a moving stage, 3D point cloud data can be obtained. Compared with the traditional binocular line-structured light measurement system, the proposed method just needs a single camera, and two images can be obtained in one procedure. It improves the measurement speed, reduces the cost of measurement, and avoids measurement errors caused by non-strict synchronization between the left and right camera in binocular vision. Experimental results demonstrate good performance with the ability to reconstruction surfaces, and measurement accuracy (RMSE = 0.032 mm) can meet the industrial requirement.
