High-speed 360 3D shape measurement based on visual stereo phase unwrapping method

360 & DEG; three-dimensional (3D) shape measurement is of great significance in the fields of defect detection and reverse modeling. Fringe projection profilometry (FPP) is widely used due to the advantages of high-accuracy and full-field measurement, but the movement of object corrupts the phase measurement. Stereo phase unwrapping (SPU) technique is adopted to improve imaging efficiency, but requires multi-cameras which resulting in high system complexity and cost. In this work, we proposed virtual stereo phase unwrapping (VSPU) method for high-speed 360 & DEG; 3D shape measurement. This method uses the virtual camera-projector systems formed by the rotation of object for phase unwrapping which only requires single camera-projector to achieve 360 & DEG; 3D shape measurement. The phase consistency checking in SPU method is modified. Experiments demonstrate that proposed method has strong robustness and can achieve 360 & DEG; 3D shape measurement in 47 s with an accuracy of 100 & mu;m during continuous rotation of the object.
