A 3D
Fourier transform-based thoracico-
abdominal surface measurement method belongs to the technical field of
structured light 3D measurement. The method comprises the following steps: projecting three stripe images of different frequencies onto a thoracico-
abdominal surface doing
breathing exercise, using a camera to collect the stripe images, and carrying out 3D
Fourier transform on the three stripe images separately; after 3D
Gaussian filtering of the transform results, carrying out Fourier inverse transform, and extracting a
package phase; unwrapping the phase to get an
absolute phase; and finally, converting the
absolute phase into height information based on the trigonometry principle. According to the invention, a stripe
pattern sequence of a thoracico-
abdominal surface changing with time is taken as a whole, spatial images and a
time sequence are combined, and a 2D-FFA method is expanded into a 3D-FFA method by adding a time dimension, so that the interference
signal frequency component in the time dimension is removed, and the accuracy of
package phase extraction is improved; and further, by using a three-frequency
phase unwrapping method, the reliability of
package phase unwrapping is improved, and the anti-interference ability of 3D
surface measurement is improved.
