Fast Scheme for Projective Geometric Correction and Edge Blending Based on High Dynamic Range Images

With the development of graphic processing unit(GPU)power,it is now possible to implement geometric correction and edge blending functions on a single computer.However,the processing resources consumed by the geometric correction and edge blending phases still burden the system and slow down the main application considerably.A new platform independent scheme is proposed,minimizing the negative influence on performance.In this scheme,parameters for geometric correction and edge blending are firstly defined in an interactive way and recorded as a 32-bit high dynamic range(HDR) image,which is then used by high level shading language(HLSL) codes embedded in the main application as a lookup table,greatly reducing the computational complexity and enhancing flexibility.

A correction method of color projection fringes in 3D contour measurement

In the three-dimensional(3D) contour measurement,the phase shift profilometry(PSP) method is the most widely used one.However,the measurement speed of PSP is very low because of the multiple projections.In order to improve the measurement speed,color grating stripes are used for measurement in this paper.During the measurement,only one color sinusoidal fringe is projected on the measured object.Therefore,the measurement speed is greatly improved.Since there is coupling or interference phenomenon between the adjacent color grating stripes,a color correction method is used to improve the measurement results.A method for correcting nonlinear error of measurement system is proposed in this paper,and the sinusoidal property of acquired image after correction is better than that before correction.Experimental results show that with these correction methods,the measurement errors can be reduced.Therefore,it can support a good foundation for the high-precision 3D reconstruction.

13.5 nm Schwarzschild microscope with high magnification and high resolution

A Schwarzschild microscope with a numerical aperture of 0.2 and a magnification of 130 in a 100μm field of view（FOV）is designed and is working at 13.5 nm.Meanwhile,a CCD is used as a detector with a pixel size of 13μm×13μm and imaging area of 13 mm×13 mm.The imaging quality with tolerances of system and errors of mirrors are considered.We obtain that the best on-axes object resolution can be up to about 200 nm,the average value is 230 nm,and the resolution is about 360 nm at 80μm FOV.

3D human face reconstruction based on band-limited binary patterns

Face recognition technology has great prospects for practical applications. Three-dimensional（3D） human faces are becoming more and more important in consideration of the limits of two-dimensional face recognition. We propose an active binocular setup to obtain a 3D colorful human face using the band-limited binary patterns（BBLP） method. Two grayscale cameras capture the BBLP projected onto the target of human face by a digital light processing（DLP） projector synchronously. Then, a color camera captures a colorful image of the human face. The benefit of this system is that the 3D colorful human face can be obtained easily with an improved temporal correlation algorithm and the precalibration results between three cameras. The experimental results demonstrated the robustness, easy operation, and the high speed of this 3D imaging setup.

Increased depth of focus in random-phase-free holographic projection

The recently proposed random-phase-free method enables holographic reconstructions with very low noise,which allows fine projections without time integration of sub-holograms. Here, we describe the additional advantage of this method, namely, the extended depth of sharp imaging. It can be attributed to a lower effective aperture of the hologram section forming a given image point at the projection screen. We experimentally compare the depth of focus and imaging resolution for various defocusing parameters in the cases of the random-phase method and the random-phase-free method. Moreover, we discuss the influence of the effective aperture in the presence of local obstacles in the hologram＇s plane.
