A novel three-dimensional shape measurement method based on a look-up table

Fringe projection profilometry is widely used for three-dimensional shape measurement. In an oblique-angle projection, the fringe cycle is broadened on the reference plane. Phase errors are mainly caused by the nonlinear gamma of the projector and fringe cycle broadening. This study describes a phase error compensation method to eliminate these phase errors. A look-up table that stores phase errors is constructed for phase error compensation. Based on it, a new height equation is proposed. The experimental results show that the proposed method can compensate for the phase errors of the fringe projection profilometry, thereby improving the measurement accuracy significantly.
