Calculation of Fringe Angle with Enhanced Phase Sensitivity and 3D Reconstruction.

In the field of fringe projection profilometry, phase sensitivity is a critical factor influencing the precision of object measurements. Traditional techniques that employ basic horizontal or vertical fringe projection often do not achieve optimal levels of phase sensitivity. The identification of the fringe angle that exhibits optimal phase sensitivity has been a significant area of research. The present study introduces a novel method for determining the optimal fringe angle, facilitating 3D reconstruction without the need for equipment adjustments. Initially, the optimal fringe is derived through mathematical analysis, and the system's position within each coordinate system is standardized, leading to the determination of the optimal fringe angle in the world coordinate system. Subsequently, an optimal fringe pattern, akin to that produced by a rotating projector, is generated based on the concept of rotation around a central point, with corresponding adjustments made to the calibration parameters. Finally, the optimal fringe is projected onto the target object for 3D reconstruction, thereby validating the proposed method. The experimental results demonstrate that this approach accurately identifies the optimal fringe angle, significantly enhancing both phase sensitivity and measurement accuracy. The accuracy of the measurement is significantly greater, by an order of magnitude, compared to the traditional method, with the error being approximately 50% of that associated with the currently established improved method.
