Dynamic 3D shape measurement by iterative phase shifting algorithms and colored fringe patterns.

Abstract

In this work, we propose a novel technique to retrieve 3D shape of dynamic objects by the simultaneous projection of a fringe pattern and a homogeneous white light pattern, both coded in an RGB image. The first one is used to retrieve the phase map by an iterative least-squares method. The second one is used to match object pixels in consecutive images, acquired at various object positions. The proposed method successfully accomplishes the requirement of projecting simultaneously two different patterns. One extracts the object's information while the other retrieves the phase map. Experimental results demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed scheme.
