Abstract: A single-shot differential phase contrast quantitative phase imaging method based on color multiplexing illumination. A color multiplexing illumination solution is used to realize single-shot differential phase contrast quantitative phase imaging. In the single-shot color multiplexing illumination solution, three illumination wavelengths of red, green, and blue are used to simultaneously illuminate a sample, and the information of the sample in multiple directions is converted into intensity information on different channels of a color image. By performing channel separation on this color image, the information about the sample at different spatial frequencies can be obtained. Such a color multiplexing illumination solution requires only one acquired image, thus enhancing the transfer response of the phase transfer function of single-shot differential phase contrast imaging in the entire frequency range, and achieving real-time dynamic quantitative phase imaging with a high contrast, a high resolution, and a high stability. In addition, an alternate illumination strategy is provided, so that a completely isotropic imaging resolution at the limit acquisition speed of the camera can be achieved.

Abstract: The invention discloses a three-dimensional (3D) measurement method based on end-to-end deep learning for speckle projection. First, the speckle pattern was projected by the projector and collected simultaneously by the stereo camera. The speckle images after stereo rectification are fed into the stereo matching network. A feature extraction sub-network based on shared weights processes the speckle images to obtain a series of low-resolution 3D feature tensors, The feature tensor is fed into the saliency object detection sub-network to detect foreground information in the speckle images, producing a full-resolution valid mask map. A 4D matching cost volume is generated using the feature tensor of both views based on the candidate disparity range, filtered by a series of 3D convolutional layers to achieve cost aggregation, so that the initial disparity map is obtained by disparity regression. The final disparity map is obtained by combining the mask map and the initial disparity map to achieve a single-frame, robust, and absolute 3D shape measurement. The invention achieves a single-frame, robust, and absolute 3D shape measurement by projecting a single speckle pattern.

Abstract: The invention discloses a deep learning-based temporal phase unwrapping method for fringe projection profilometry. First, four sets of three-step phase-shifting fringe patterns with different frequencies (including 1, 8, 32, and 64) are projected to the tested objects. The three-step phase-shifting fringe images acquired by the camera are processed to obtain the wrapped phase map using a three-step phase-shifting algorithm. Then, a multi-frequency temporal phase unwrapping (MF-TPU) algorithm is used to unwrap the wrapped phase map to obtain a fringe order map of the high-frequency phase with 64 periods. A residual convolutional neural network is built, and its input data are set to be the wrapped phase maps with frequencies of 1 and 64, and the output data are set to be the fringe order map of the high-frequency phase with 64 periods. Finally, the training dataset and the validation dataset are built to train and validate the network. The network makes predictions on the test dataset to output the fringe order map of the high-frequency phase with 64 periods. The invention exploits a deep learning method to unwrap a wrapped phase map with a frequency of 64 using a wrapped phase map with a frequency of 1 and obtain an absolute phase map with fewer phase errors and higher accuracy.
