Single-Shot Three-Dimensional Reconstruction Using Grid Pattern-Based Structured-Light Vision Method

Abstract

Structured-light vision methods are widely employed for three-dimensional reconstruction. As a typical structured light pattern, grid pattern is extensively applied in single-shot three-dimensional reconstruction. The uniqueness of the grid feature retrieval is critical to the reconstruction. Most methods using grid pattern utilize the epipolar constraint to retrieve the correspondence. However, the low calibration accuracy of the camera–projector stereo system may impact the correspondence retrieval. An approach using grid pattern-based structured-light vision method is proposed. The grid pattern-based structured-light model was combined with the camera model and the multiple light plane equations. An effective extraction method of the grid stripe features was investigated. The system calibration strategy, based on coplanar constraint, is presented. The experimental setup consisted of a camera and an LED projector. Experiments were carried out to verify the accuracy of the proposed method.
