    Abstract: A calibration method for fringe projection systems based on plane mirrors. Firstly, two mirrors are placed behind the tested object. Through the reflection of mirrors, the camera can image the measured object from the front and other two perspectives, so as to obtain 360-degree two-dimensional information of the measured object. The projector projects three sets of phase-shifting fringe patterns with frequencies of 1, 8, and 64. The camera captures the fringe image to obtain an absolute phase map with a frequency of 64 by using the phase-shifting method and the temporal phase unwrapping algorithm. By using the calibration parameters between the projector and the camera, the absolute phase map can be converted into three-dimensional information of the measured object. Then, the mirror calibration is realized by capturing a set of 3D feature point pairs, so that the 3D information from different perspectives is transformed into a unified world coordinate system. The calibration method does not need to artificially fix the feature pattern on plane mirrors, only needs to capture a set of 3D feature point pairs by the camera to directly realize the mirror calibration that it avoids the loss of measurement accuracy and realizes high-precision panoramic three-dimensional measurement.

    Abstract: The invention claims a microscopic imaging method of phase contrast (PC) and differential interference contrast (DIC) based on the transport of intensity equation (TIE). Firstly, three intensity images are captured along the optical axis; secondly, TIE is solved by deconvolution to obtain the quantitative phase; then, the intensity image under the DIC imaging mode is obtained according to the DIC imaging principle; finally, the corresponding phase image of PC imaging mode is obtained according to the PC imaging principle. The proposed approach can endow the bright-field microscope with the ability to realize PC and DIC imaging without complex modification of the traditional bright-field microscope. In other words, this method only needs to use the traditional bright-field microscope without adding any complex hardware. Through the PC and DIC algorithms, this method has the advantages of quantitative, high-speed, low-cost, simple structure, and less external interference. In addition, it has the same imaging performance as the phase contrast microscope and differential interference contrast microscope, which are expensive, complex-structure, and has strict environmental conditions.

    Abstract: A super-rapid three-dimensional measurement method and system based on an improved Fourier transform contour technique is disclosed. The method comprises: firstly calibrating a measurement system to obtain calibration parameters, then cyclically projecting 2n patterns into a measured scene using a projector, wherein n patterns are binary sinusoidal fringes with different high frequency, and the other n patterns are all-white images with the values of 1, and projecting the all-white images between every two binary high-frequency sinusoidal fringes, and synchronously acquiring images using a camera; and then performing phase unwrapping on wrapped phases to obtain initial absolute phases, and correcting the initial absolute phases, and finally reconstructing a three-dimensional topography of the measured scene by exploiting the corrected absolute phases and the calibration parameters to obtain 3D spatial coordinates of the measured scene in a world coordinate system, thereby accomplishing three-dimensional topography measurement of an object. In this way, the precision of three-dimensional topography measurement is ensured, and the speed of three-dimensional topography measurement is improved.
