In this paper, a large-depth-of-field projected fringe profilometry using a supercontinuum light source generated by launching femto second laser pulses into a highly nonlinear photonic crystal fiber is presented. Since the supercontinuum light has high spatial coherence and a broad spectral range (from UV to near infrared), a high power (hundreds of mW) point white light source can be employed to generate modulated fringe patterns, which offers following major advantages: (1) large-depth-of-field, (2) ease of calibration, and (3) little speckle noise (a major problem for the laser system). Thus, a highly accurate, large-depth-of-field projected fringe profilometer can be realized. Both the theoretical description and experimental demonstration are provided.

Fringe projection profilometry (FPP) is a widely adopted technique for three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction. However, its depth-of-field (DOF) is constrained when reconstructing defocused scenes, mainly due to limitations in the camera model and image blur. This study introduces a camera model based on the ideal optical system, which effectively reduces the systematic errors associated with the conventional pinhole camera model.

Fringe projection profilometry based on MEMS micro-vibration mirrors is very promising due to its rapid projection, large depth of field, compact size, and low cost. Although high-frequency fringes can achieve accurate reconstruction, the projector must offer sufficient pixel resolution. In this paper, we proposed a high-resolution projection technique called the delay superposition method.

By applying a high projection rate, the binary defocusing technique can dramatically increase 3D imaging speed. However, existing methods are sensitive to the varied defocusing degree, and have limited depth of field (DoF). To this end, a time-domain Gaussian fitting method is proposed in this paper.

Fringe projection profilometry (FPP), with benefits such as high precision and a large depth of field, is a popular 3D optical measurement method widely used in precision reconstruction scenarios. However, the pixel brightness at reflective edges does not satisfy the conditions of the ideal pixel-wise phase-shifting model due to the influence of scene texture and system defocus, resulting in severe phase errors. To address this problem, we theoretically analyze the non-pixel-wise phase propagation model for texture edges and propose a reprojection strategy based on scene texture modulation.

Optical projection tomography (OPT) is a three-dimensional (3D) fluorescence imaging technique, in which projection images are acquired for varying orientations of a sample using a large depth of field. OPT is typically applied to a millimeter-sized specimen, because the rotation of a microscopic specimen is challenging and not compatible with live cell imaging. In this Letter, we demonstrate fluorescence optical tomography of a microscopic specimen by laterally translating the tube lens of a wide-field optical microscope, which allows for high-resolution OPT without rotating the sample.
