Abstract

Three dimensional (3D) imaging technology has been widely used for many applications, such as human-computer interactions, making industrial measurements, and dealing with cultural relics. However, existing active methods often require both large apertures of projector and camera to maximize light throughput, resulting in a shallow working volume in which projector and camera are simultaneously in focus. In this paper, we propose a novel method to extend the working range of the structured light 3D imaging system based on the focal stack. Specifically in the case of large depth variation scenes, we first adopted the gray code method for local, 3D shape measurement with multiple focal distance settings. Then we extracted the texture map of each focus position into a focal stack to generate a global coarse depth map. Under the guidance of the global coarse depth map, the high-quality 3D shape measurement of the overall scene was obtained by local, 3D shape-measurement fusion. To validate the method, we developed a prototype system that can perform high-quality measurements in the depth range of 400 mm with a measurement error of 0.08%.

Figure 1 The framework of our proposed method. Image sequences of different focal distances are acquired by the multi-focus illumination-imaging system; then, local, fine 3D measurements and a global coarse depth map are generated by the gray-code method and focus stacking technique, respectively. These local, fine 3D measurements, along with the global coarse depth map, are finally fed into the guided fusion model to get the high-quality 3D measurement of the overall scene.

Figure 2 Optimal focus positions and texture map extraction. (a): optical system; (b): texture map. The optimal sequence of focus positions has no gaps or overlaps between depths of field (DOFs) from consecutive focal planes. The image projected by the finest stripes of the gray code sequence is extracted into the focal stack.

The first row represents the results of the small sphere (diameter = 30 mm at 200 mm) under different camera settings and methods. The second row represents the corresponding results of the medium sphere(diameter = 50 mm at 400 mm), and the last row represents the corresponding results of the big sphere(diameter = 70 mm at 600 mm). The reconstruction errors are shown in the upper right corner of each figure, which are RMSEs and mean errors.
