Adaptive phase measuring profilometry for robustly detecting saturated pixels

In this paper, we propose an adaptive method for phase measuring profilometry to more accurately reconstruct 3D point clouds of high-reflective surfaces. First, we project high-frequency sinusoidal fringe patterns to robustly detect saturated pixels and then obtain their corresponding optimal projection intensity. Second, based on the coordinate mapping relationship between a camera-projector pair, we generate a set of fringe patterns with adaptive intensity. Finally, we project the adaptive fringes patterns to achieve more accurate 3D reconstruction. The experimental results show that our method can more accurately detect saturated pixels, and thus improve the quality of 3D reconstruction.
