Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of three-dimensional measurement, and particularly to a high-dynamic-range three-dimensional measurement method based on binary fringe differential demodulation. Background Art

[0002] Regarding the three-dimensional reconstruction problem of high-dynamic-range (HDR) surfaces, traditional gray-level fringe projection methods are prone to interference when measuring surfaces with high reflectivity or abrupt changes in reflectivity, resulting in reconstruction failure or large errors. Specifically, the existing methods mainly face the problems of fringe distortion caused by abrupt changes in reflectivity of high-reflectivity surfaces and the limitations of traditional demodulation methods.

[0003] When measuring high-reflectivity surfaces such as smooth metals and polished ceramics, strong specular reflections can cause overexposure or loss of the fringe pattern, making it difficult for the camera to capture accurate fringe information. Since the brightness of some areas exceeds the dynamic range of the camera, phase calculation is distorted, thereby affecting the final three-dimensional reconstruction accuracy. When projecting fringes onto an object with local high-brightness or low-brightness regions (such as a surface with a pattern or a component with material changes), the fringe contrast will change due to abrupt changes in reflectivity. Traditional methods are difficult to simultaneously capture effective fringe information in both high-brightness and dark regions under a single exposure setting, resulting in measurement errors. Traditional phase-shifting methods and gray-level fringe projection rely on continuous gray-scale changes, but due to the non-linear response of the camera and the Gamma correction error of the projector, the reconstruction accuracy is limited. The method of multi-exposure fusion requires additional computing and storage resources and is difficult to implement in dynamic measurement scenarios.

[0004] There are many deficiencies in the prior art in the three-dimensional measurement of HDR surfaces. First, traditional gray-level fringe projection methods are prone to saturation in high-reflectivity regions, resulting in loss of fringe information, and the signal is insufficient in low-reflectivity regions, reducing the fringe contrast and thus affecting the demodulation accuracy. In addition, although the multi-exposure fusion technology can alleviate this problem to a certain extent, this method requires collecting multiple sets of images under different exposure conditions and performing complex fusion calculations, increasing the time cost of data processing and making it difficult to meet the requirements of real-time measurement. The region adaptive method can optimize the exposure of different regions, but due to the need to perform point-by-point calculations and adjustments on the measurement object, the computational complexity is greatly increased, making it difficult to be efficiently applied in dynamic measurement environments. At the same time, some existing methods rely on high-dynamic-range cameras or complex optical devices, such as polarization filters, adaptive optical systems, etc. The high cost of these devices limits their popularization and application in industrial measurement.

[0029] Then, according to the pre-calibrated system parameters, convert the disparity map into a three-dimensional point cloud, and generate high-quality and high-dynamic-range three-dimensional information through multi-exposure synthesis or adaptive weight adjustment.
