Fringe projection profilometry for panoramic 3D reconstruction

In this paper, we introduce a panoramic profilometric system to reconstruct inner cylindrical environments. The system projects circular fringes and uses a temporal phase unwrapping technique. The recovered phase map is used to reconstruct objects placed on the inner cylindrical surface. We derived a phase to depth conversion formula for this system. The use of fringe projection allows dense reconstructions. The panoramic system is composed by a digital projector, two parabolic mirrors and a CCD camera. All these components share a common axis with a reference cylinder. This paper presents results for distinct objects.
