Fringe projection and phase shifting method
The characterisation of surface shapes / the measurement of height profiles by optical
contouring techniques is based on a variety of principles that includes triangulation, Moiré,
photogrammetry, interferometry, holography and speckle techniques. Up to now, only
photogrammetry has widely been applied, in artwork diagnostics, but its use has often been
hindered by the complexity of the measurement process and its high costs.
PHOSYLAB proposes an optical and non-destructive method of identifying and sorting objects shapes.
The method is based on the projection of fringes onto the surface of the object to be analysed. In order to perform the analysis in a short time, the
phase shift introduced into the fringe pattern must be produced with a high-speed actuator. The 3-steps PSM technique is applied to different objects with different shapes in a
large variety of materials: plastic, metal... The technique can also be applied to complicated
shapes. The accuracy can be as good as 1 micron for fringe patterns with a period of 30
lines/mm. The
control of the fringe projection and induced phase shifts, image acquisition and the data
processing tasks are performed by the same computer.
The complete system is packaged in a compact box. This box can be fixed onto an conveyor so that the identification and sorting process is performed in real
time.
PHOSYLAB´s real-time systems can easily be reconfigured and optimised for different piece shapes, materials, colours and sizes. After the object shape has been reconstructed, the shape is compared to those stored in
the computer memory to identify the type of object. The time required for the
complete analysis of one object is less than 2 seconds. This time can be reduced by using parallel
processors..
