Abstract
This Letter presents a ray phase mapping model (RPM) for fringe projection profilometry (FPP) that avoids calibrating intrinsic parameters. The novelty of the RPM, to the best of our knowledge, is the ability to characterize the imaging system with independent rays for each pixel, and to associate the rays with the projected phase in the illumination field for efficient 3D mapping, which avoids complex imaging-specific modeling about lens layout and distortion. Two loss functions are constructed to flexibly optimize camera ray parameters and mapping coefficients, respectively. As a universal approach, it has the potential to calibrate different types of FPP systems with high accuracy. Experiments on wide-angle lens FPP, telecentric lens FPP, and micro-electromechanical system (MEMS)-based FPP are carried out to verify the feasibility of the proposed method.
