An accurate three-dimensional scanning system with a new phase error compensation method

An accurate three-dimensional scanning system based on fringe projection and active triangulation is presented. The structured light projection is implemented by using a special grating element fabricated by electron beam lithography which ensures the phase-shifting accuracy and continuous intensity. The phase error caused by non-sinusoidal phase-shifting patterns is reduced significantly by a new compensation method, and an average 62.5% improvement of the vibration error is revealed. The experimental results indicate that the measurement error of the system is lower than 0.04 mm, with a variability of about 0.03 mm. The registration of multi-view test results indicates registration standard deviation can be lower than 0.1 mm. The system promises a favourable future for industrial application, especially in reverse engineering of free form surfaces.

Measurement of PCI connector tilts using phase-shift fringe projection

The tilt angles of peripheral component interconnect (PCI) connectors on a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) were measured using the phase-shift fringe projection method. The inspection system developed consists of a personal computer, digital camera, a standard projector and a mirror. The projector was used for projecting a sinusoidal fringe pattern onto the connectors. Phase-shifting was achieved by using a mirror mounted on a rotary stage in the path of the projected fringes. Since the light source used is non-collimated, calibration was performed to obtain an equation for the incident angle of the beam along the length of the object surface for different object heights. Glass blocks of known dimensions were used to test and verify the measurement system. The phase-shifting technique was applied to determine the tilt angles on the glass blocks and later applied to actual connectors. The vision-based inspection system developed using phase-shifting technique demonstrates successful tilt angle measurement on a PCBA.     

Fourier transform profilometry employing novel orthogonal elliptic band-pass filtering for accurate 3-D surface reconstruction

The article proposes a novel orthogonal elliptic band-pass filtering methodology in Fourier Transform Profilometry (FTP) for significant improvement of accurate 3-D measurement surface reconstruction with arbitrary object colors. Compared with phase shifting profilometry (PSP), FTP using fringe projection can achieve a general 3-D surface profilometry more efficiently by employing one-shot imaging. However, a challenging problem commonly encountered by FTP using fringe projection is its unreliable extraction of precise spectral information from the spectral domain especially when the spectral domain is complicated to process. Various filtering methods previously proposed in FTP have been proved unsuccessful or nonrobust. Thus, a new band-pass filter is developed from an adaptive orthogonal elliptic region to achieve higher accuracy of 3-D surface reconstruction. A comprehensive theoretical analysis is performed to investigate the physical measurement limits of the proposed method. The experimental results obtained confirm that the measurement accuracy of dimension and sphericity can be greatly enhanced when compared with that achieved by the traditional circular band-pass filter. The proposed method is proved to outperform all the other existing FTP band-pass filtering approaches. The maximum dimensional error measured can be controlled within 1.25% of the overall measuring height with various surface colors. However, it is also verified that the traditional three-step PSP can achieve slightly better measuring repeatability than the proposed method.     

Dynamics range enhancement in digital fringe projection technique

In this paper a new approach to enhance the dynamic range of a fringe projection system for measuring 3D profile of objects with wide variation in their optical reflections is proposed. The high dynamic range fringe images are acquired by recursively controlling the intensity of the projection pattern at pixel level based on the feedback from the reflected images captured by the camera. A four step phase shifting algorithm combined with a quality guided algorithm is used to obtain the unwrapped phase map of the object from the acquired high dynamic range fringe images. Simulation and experimental results show that the proposed technique can accurately measure the 3D profile of objects with wide variation in their optical reflectivity.

A flexible phase-shifting method with absolute phase marker retrieval

The phase-shifting algorithm is an important and widely employed technology in optical 3D shape measurement. An additional absolute phase marker map is necessary to acquire the absolute phase with traditional phase-shifting algorithm, which not only has a low efficiency but also may not meet certain special requirements of the practical application. In this study, a flexible phase-shifting method, which does not need the additional absolute phase marker map, was developed. A newly designed absolute phase marker was embedded into one of the phase fringe images, and this was retrieved according to its mathematical model; then, the primary phase inside and outside the absolute phase marker region was computed with different methods. Results of experiments show that the retrieval of the marker is easy and flexible, and the phase computation with this novel method is accurate and robust.

A new algorithm to align three-dimensional maps of helical structures

By subtracting one three-dimensional (3-D) map from another, one can calculate a difference map that can reveal structural changes, such as conformational changes, not detectable by eye. Furthermore, statistical significances can be assigned to such differences. The validity of the features in the difference map, however, depends on the alignment of the two maps; that is, one needs to align the two 3-D maps so that densities corresponding to equivalent parts of the structures are at the same coordinates. An existing method using the Fourier-Bessel coefficients Gn,1(R) is commonly used for the alignment of maps of helical structures. This procedure works well if the two maps have most features in common. But if they do not, it is difficult to control which features are used in the alignment procedure since the contributions from different features in the map are not easy to separate. We devised a procedure using the radial transform of Gn,1(R) (i.e., g(n),1(r)), which retains the powerful mathematical advantage of the Fourier-Bessel representation of the data and which provides the ability to select the radial features used in the alignment procedure. We applied the new method to 3-D maps of F-actin and F-actin decorated with various myosin motor constructs. Whereas the procedure using G(n),1(R) failed to align myosin-S1 decorated actin to undecorated actin, the new procedure accurately aligned maps.     

Atomic force microscopy of freeze-fracture replicas of rat atrial tissue

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) has provided three-dimensional (3-D) surface images of many biological specimens at molecular resolution. In the absence of spectroscopic capability for AFM, it is often difficult to distinguish individual components if the specimen contains a population of mixed structures such as in a cellular membrane. In an effort to understand the AFM images better, a correlative study between AFM and the well-established technique of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was performed. Freeze-fractured replicas of adult rat atrial tissue were examined by both TEM and AFM. The same replicas were analysed and the same details were identified, which allowed a critical comparison of surface topography by both techniques. AFM images of large-scale subcellular structures (nuclei, mitochondria, granules) correlated well with TEM images. AFM images of smaller features and surface textures appeared somewhat different from the TEM images. This presumably reflects the difference in the surface sensitivity of AFM versus TEM, as well as the nature of images in AFM (3-D surface contour) and TEM (2-D projection). AFM images also provided new information about the replica itself. Unlike TEM, it was possible to examine both sides of the replica with AFM; the resolution on one side was significantly greater compared with the other side. It was also possible to obtain quantitative height information which is not readily available with TEM.

Phase-measuring algorithm to suppress inner reflection of transparent parallel plate in wavelength tuning Fizeau interferometer

Optical thickness variation is a fundamental characteristic of transparent optical devices. When measuring this variation by using a wavelength-tuning Fizeau interferometer, the measurement accuracy depends on the phase-shifting algorithm being used. Therefore, the phase-shifting algorithm should compensate for any errors incurred during the measurement, including the phase-shift error, coupling errors, and bias modulation of intensity. Among these errors, however, the coupling errors between the higher harmonics resulting from the inner reflections of the transparent plate and phase-shift error have not previously been considered. This paper presents a derivation of a 19-sample phase-shifting algorithm that can compensate for the miscalibration and 1st-order nonlinearity of the phase shift, coupling errors, and bias modulation of intensity during wavelength tuning. The characteristics of the 19-sample algorithm were estimated with respect to the Fourier representation in the frequency domain. The phase error of measurements performed using the 19-sample algorithm was discussed and compared with that of measurements obtained using other conventional phase-shifting algorithms. Finally, the optical thickness variation of a fused silica parallel plate was obtained using a wavelength-tuning Fizeau interferometer and the 19-sample algorithm. The measurement accuracy was discussed by comparing the ripples in the crosstalk noise with those calculated using other phase-shifting algorithms. The experimental results indicated that the optical thickness variation measurement accuracy for the fused silica plate was approximately 2 nm.     

A new method for the model-independent assessment of thickness in three-dimensional images

Three-dimensional (3-D) structural parameters derived from lower-dimensional measurements using indirect morphometric methods may be strongly biased if the measured objects deviate from the assumed structure model. With the introduction of 3-D microscopic measuring techniques it is possible to obtain a complete depiction of complex spatial structures. As a consequence, new 3-D methods have recently been developed for the estimation of morphometric parameters such as volume, surface area and connectivity by direct processing of the 3-D images. Structure thickness is an important morphometric parameter which is usually defined for specific structure models only. In this paper we propose a general thickness definition for arbitrary structures allowing us to calculate the mean structure thickness and the thickness distribution of 3-D objects in a direct way and independently of an assumed structure model. Additionally, an efficient implementation for the practical usage of the method is described using distance transformation. The new method is applied to trabecular bone structures measured with a 3-D micro-computed tomography system.     

Development of a dynamic surface shape measurement for magnetic fluid

Traditional measurement techniques such as fringe and stereo projection can hardly measure the black surface shape of magnetic liquid in revolving container which has a cover to prevent the liquid spilling out. To solve this problem, a multi-step measurement method based on linear laser projection is proposed. Modulated laser by synchronous revolving chopper is introduced to obtain the steady projection light curve on the measured location of the magnetic fluid surface. In order to capture the instantaneous reflected light of the projection light curve, a camera used a long exposure time of shooting is used. Taking the advantages of multiple exposure luminance enhancement effect of long exposure time, pictures with high brightness and contrast projection light are obtained. The overall surface shape of the fluid can be reconstructed by many laser projection lines extracted from the pictures captured at different angles of revolving container. A high transparency acrylic cover is adopted to provide good sealing performance and light transmission quality in the experiment. On the base of correction of influence of refractive index of the acrylic cover, the height formula of magnetic fluid surface is derived. The camera installation angle and distance between the camera and the container are not required as the size of container are utilized to calibrate the camera. The relationship between image coordinates and world coordinates is also obtained. According to the height curves of the projection lines and their measuring angles on the container, 3-D surface shape of magnetic fluid is reconstructed. The surface shape is verified indirectly by using the imbalance of the container, and the relative unbalance errors between the measurement results and the results by Shenk dynamic balancing machine under different conditions are between 0.8% and 11%. Another performance experiment on measuring the surface shape of an rubber block indicates that the measurement range of the proposed method is that the slope of the measured surface must be less than 3.94, and the sensitivity is 0.18 mm. All performance of the proposed method is acceptable, so such a complex industrial problem is solved only by a daily digital camera.

Projection of topographic maps from curved brain surfaces into a plane

The environment is represented in the brain by topographic maps. These maps and their interrelationship form a dominant feature in the brain, but unfortunately, they are often projected onto surfaces which are variously curved. It would be useful to be able to compare the topography on these surfaces quantitatively with the origin of the map. This comparison would be possible if the curved brain surfaces could be represented in planes. Therefore, it was necessary to develop a procedure for unfolding maps on convex structures like the retina and the optic tectum of the chick. For this purpose a unit sphere was constructed whose origin was close to the centre of gravity of the curved brain structure. The surface of this structure was then projected into the sphere. From its representation on the spherical surface it was unfolded into the plane using a polar azimuthal radially equidistant projection. Our method can safely be applied to convex structures only. However, it is not limited to the visual system. The mathematical procedure is formulated in such a way as to be easily implemented. It is exemplified by experiments on the optic tectum and the developing retina of the chick.
