Large DOF microscopic fringe projection profilometry with a coaxial light-field structure.

Fringe projection profilometry (FPP) has been widely researched for three-dimensional (3D) microscopic measurement during recent decades. Nevertheless, some disadvantages arising from the limited depth of field and occlusion still exist and need to be further addressed. In this paper, light field imaging is introduced for microscopic fringe projection profilometry (MFPP) to obtain a larger depth of field.

High-efficiency 3D reconstruction with a uniaxial MEMS-based fringe projection profilometry.

Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) scanning is increasingly popular in 3D surface measurement with the merits of the compact structure and high frame-rate. In this paper, we achieve real-time fringe structured 3D reconstruction by using a uniaxial MEMS-based projector. To overcome the limitations on uniaxial MEMS-based projector of lensless structure and unidirectional fringe projection, a novel isophase plane model is proposed, in which the laser line from MEMS-based projector is regarded as an isophase plane.
