Patent number: 11906286Abstract: The invention discloses a deep learning-based temporal phase unwrapping method for fringe projection profilometry. First, four sets of three-step phase-shifting fringe patterns with different frequencies (including 1, 8, 32, and 64) are projected to the tested objects. The three-step phase-shifting fringe images acquired by the camera are processed to obtain the wrapped phase map using a three-step phase-shifting algorithm. Then, a multi-frequency temporal phase unwrapping (MF-TPU) algorithm is used to unwrap the wrapped phase map to obtain a fringe order map of the high-frequency phase with 64 periods. A residual convolutional neural network is built, and its input data are set to be the wrapped phase maps with frequencies of 1 and 64, and the output data are set to be the fringe order map of the high-frequency phase with 64 periods. Finally, the training dataset and the validation dataset are built to train and validate the network.Type: GrantFiled: July 5, 2019Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: NANJING UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGYInventors: Qian Chen, Chao Zuo, Shijie Feng, Yuzhen Zhang, Guohua Gu

Patent number: 11808564Abstract: A calibration method for fringe projection systems based on plane mirrors. Firstly, two mirrors are placed behind the tested object. Through the reflection of mirrors, the camera can image the measured object from the front and other two perspectives, so as to obtain 360-degree two-dimensional information of the measured object.

Publication number: 20230122985Abstract: The invention discloses a single-frame fringe pattern analysis method based on multi-scale generative adversarial network. A multi-scale generative adversarial neural network model is constructed and a comprehensive loss function is applied. Next, training data are collected to train the multi-scale generative adversarial network.
