Color crosstalk compensation method for color phase-shifting fringe projection profilometry based on the phase correction matrix

Abstract

Color phase-shifting fringe projection profilometry is one of the single-shot three-dimensional shape measurement techniques. The color crosstalk of the projector-camera system yields undesired phase errors when using phase-shifting method. In this paper, a color crosstalk compensation method based on phase correction matrix is proposed. In this method, the phase correction matrix is established to compensate the deviations between the actual phase-shift values in the acquired fringes and the standard ones in the ideal fringes. Only two fringe patterns are utilized to obtain the phase correction matrix. The quadratic equations for calculating the actual phase-shift values of the fringes in the three color channels are derived. The actual phase-shift values and the corresponding standard ones are employed to form the equilibrium equations for computing the phase correction coefficients in the matrix. Experimental results demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed method and it can effectively reduce the induced overall phase error caused by the color crosstalk.
