A phase unwrapping method based on feature extraction of binary grating is proposed in this paper. In traditional phase measuring profilometry based on sinusoidal grating projection, the phase is wrapped between (-π, π]due to the arctangent operation, and it needs to be unwrapped using relative phase unwrapping algorithms such as diamond-type phase unwrapping algorithm in which the accumulation of phase errors is easy to occur or even lead to wrong phase unwrapping; or with the assistance of some additional structured light patterns such as Gray codes, the fringe order may be determined to achieve phase unwrapping without the phase error accumulation. By the proposed method, three-dimensional measurement is achieved by just projecting a set of phase-shifted binary gratings, which can not only avoid the Gamma non-linearity influence of the projector, but also increase the refresh frequency of the projector by more than ten times. At the same time, by using the image characteristics of the binary grating itself, the fringe order can be extracted without increasing any auxiliary structured light pattern. So that the unwrapped phase can be achieved by combining the phase of extracted fringe order with the wrapped phase without the phase error accumulation.The experimental results verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method, and the solution result is in good agreement with the solution result of the diamond algorithm without cumulative errors.
3D facial expression capture is widely used in film and television, game, medicine, social intercourse and other fields. In order to realize high-precision acquisition of 3D facial expression information in unmarked free movement, a fringe projection 3D face measurement method based on key point detection and matching is proposed. Firstly, the quasi-static 3D information of the object to be measured is obtained as a reference model by using three-frequency heterodyne method, and the initial key points is obtained from the modulation image by using the face key point detection algorithm based on deep learning.The 3D coordinates corresponding to these key points are then obtained. During the dynamic measurement, only two or three fringes with phase shifts are projected. Modified Fourier transform profilometry or phase measurement profilometry is used to obtain the wrapped phase and modulation of deformed fringe. Face key points are detected in the modulation image and matched with the initial key points to obtain the coordinate relationship between the key points and the reference model. The motion parameters of the face relative to the reference model are calculated and the approximate phase is further calculated using the reference model. Finally, the approximate phase is used to unwrapthe phase and reconstruct the 3D shape to obtain the 3D facial expression at that time. A 3D facial expression capture system is built by using DLP projector and high-speed camera. 3D data acquisition with 1.3 million pixels at 100 fps is realized. The experimental results show that the system can accurately capture the unmarked 3D expressions with significant changes within ±45 degrees of deflection, ±30 degrees of pitch and ±45 degrees of roll.
A 2+1 phase-shifting algorithm with temporal phase unwrapping is proposed in this paper. Traditional 2+1 phase-shifting algorithm plays a good performance in terms of suppressing errors introduced by motion. In order to simultaneously realize temporal phase unwrapping, only one additional auxiliary sinusoidal grating with lower frequency is needed, then the geometric constraints are used to unwrap phase of the lower frequency deformed pattern by combining Hilbert transform to guide unwrapping the phase of 2+1 algorithm. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can successfully recover phase information of objects with large-scale depth and intricate surfaces with higher measuring accuracy and higher measuring speed.
Polarization information and orbital angular momentum information are important carriers of optical signals of optical information, as well as important parameters of optical information processing. In this paper, an Archimedes double helix structure is designed on a quartz substrate, and the finite element method is used to calculate the patterns of transmitted light intensity distribution generated by the coupling of the incident light and the metasurface, when the incident light has different orbital angular momentum and polarization information and irradiates the above-mentioned metasurface. According to this pattern, the polarization information of the incident light can be detected. In order to detect the orbital angular momentum of the incident light, a new calculation method is also proposed, which calculates the offset of the intensity center of the transmitted field generated by the coupling of the incident light and the metasurface and uses it to characterize the orbital angular momentum of the incident light. Finally, the relationship between the orbital angular momentum of incident light and the offset of the intensity center is fitted successfully, which realizes the detection of the orbital angular momentum of incident light. This research provides a new idea for detecting the information carried by incident light.

The range of incidence angle for defect detection is 30° ~ 50°. In the visible light range, the wavelength range of 380~500 nm is more conducive to defect detection. In addition, by studying the variation law of scattering field when the defect size changes, it provides a reference basis for distinguishing the shape and size of defects.

In the process of laser communication, laser guidance, rendezvous and docking in order to achieve the acquisition and tracking of long-distance targets, a laser tracking method based on single-element detector is proposed in this paper. A single-element detector is used to measure the distance information, and a fast mirror is used to scan the field of view in spiral line. With the angle information of fast mirror and distance information of detector, a three-dimensional image is generated. Through signal processing, the center of target in 3D image can be obtained and the control module drives the fast mirror to start next scan according to the difference between target center and FOV center, so that the target is always in the scanning FOV and target tracking is realized. The advantage of this method is that the single-element detector can be introduced into tracking task, and the array detector is no longer needed to locate the center of target, and therefore the echo energy density is much higher and the tracking range can be much longer, especailly with the incorporation of single photon avanche detector. With this method, the simulation experiment has been carried out and the target at 3.75 m is captured and tracked. The experimental results show that the simulation and experimental results are consistent with each other, and the acquisition probability of target with diagonal velocity of 9.07 mrad/s is 72.5%.
