Abstract: A phase-error compensation method and device, comprising: utilizing a phase-shifting-profilometry measuring system to obtain fringe sequence charts; based on Hilbert transform, transforming the fringe sequence charts from a space domain to a Hilbert transform domain; based on least squares phase shift method, solving the phases of the fringe sequence charts in the space domain and the Hilbert transform domain respectively, and obtaining a phase chart in the space domain and a phase chart in the Hilbert transform domain; averaging the phase chart in the space domain and the phase chart in the Hilbert transform domain to obtain an average phase, and utilizing the average phase to perform phase-error compensation. The invention possesses a self-compensation mechanism, does not need any auxiliary condition, and thus meets the requirements of high-speed, high-precision and high-universality 3D digital imaging and measuring based on the phase shifting profilometry.
