A Polarized Structured Light Method for the 3D Measurement of High-Reflective Surfaces

Year: 2023
Type: article
Abstract: The reflection phenomenon exhibited by highly reflective surfaces considerably affects the quality of captured images, thereby rendering the task of structured light (SL) 3D reconstruction. In this paper, a polarized SL method is proposed to address the reconstruction issues on high-reflectance surfaces. The SL system we build in this paper involves a four-channel polarizing camera and a digital light processing (DLP) projector equipped with a polarizer in the lens. The built system enables the simultaneous acquisition of four groups of fringe images, each with different brightness differences. Then, a binary time-multiplexing SL method is adopted to obtain four distinct point clouds. Additionally, a fusion algorithm is proposed to merge the four point clouds into a single, precise, and complete point cloud. Several experiments have been conducted to demonstrate that the proposed method is capable of achieving excellent reconstruction outcomes on highly reflective surfaces.
