Structured-light 3D reconstruction techniques are employed in a wide range of applications for industrial inspection.

We propose a novel calibration technique for structured-light systems adopting telecentric lenses for both camera and projector. The device exploits a fixed light pattern (striped-based) to perform accurate microscopic surface reconstruction and measurements. Our method employs a sphere with a known radius as calibration target and takes advantage of the orthographic projection model of the telecentric lenses to recover the bundle of planes originated by the projector. Once the sheaf of parallel planes is properly described in the camera reference frame, the triangulation of the surface’s object hit by the light stripes is immediate. Moreover, we tested our technique in a real-world scenario for industrial surface inspection by implementing a complete pipeline to recover the intersections between the projected planes and the surface. Experimental analysis shows the robustness of the proposed approach against synthetic and real-world test data.

Abstract

Structured-light 3D reconstruction techniques are employed in a wide range of applications for industrial inspection. In particular, some tasks require micrometric precision for the identification of microscopic surface irregularities. We propose a novel calibration technique for structured-light systems adopting telecentric lenses for both camera and projector. The device exploits a fixed light pattern (striped-based) to perform accurate microscopic surface reconstruction and measurements. Our method employs a sphere with a known radius as calibration target and takes advantage of the orthographic projection model of the telecentric lenses to recover the bundle of planes originated by the projector. Once the sheaf of parallel planes is properly described in the camera reference frame, the triangulation of the surface’s object hit by the light stripes is immediate. Moreover, we tested our technique in a real-world scenario for industrial surface inspection by implementing a complete pipeline to recover the intersections between the projected planes and the surface. Experimental analysis shows the robustness of the proposed approach against synthetic and real-world test data.
