New method improves 3D scanning accuracy and consistency

Researchers have developed a new method for fringe projection profilometry that improves spatial consistency in depth reconstruction. This technique couples phase-to-depth transformations across pixels, using a shared low-dimensional mapping instead of independent per-pixel fits. The approach, demonstrated on a dental target, achieves accuracy comparable to active stereo methods while significantly reducing artifacts and parameter storage. AI

IMPACT Introduces a novel calibration technique that enhances the spatial coherence and accuracy of 3D scanning.

    Spatially Coupled Phase-to-Depth Calibration for Fringe Projection Profilometry

    arXiv:2606.11601v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In fringe projection profilometry (FPP), depth is commonly recovered by fitting a phase-to-depth relation independently at each camera pixel. Although such pixel-wise calibration achieves high local accuracy, neighboring pixels can …
