Coded-Structured Light System Calibration Using Orthogonal Phase Shift Coding Combined with Zhang’s Method

Abstract:

In coded-structured light three dimensional system, system calibration plays a vital role for the measurement accuracy. The camera calibration method is very mature, but the study about projector calibration is less. Therefore, this paper proposes a projector calibration method with simple calibration process and high accuracy. This method combines the Zhang’s plane model calibration method with orthogonal phase shift coding. In calibration process, this paper uses phase shift coding pattern to establish the relationship of projector image and camera corner point coordinates. According to the image coordinates in the projector’s perspective, we program and calculate the projector’s internal and external parameters matrix based on the Zhang’s plane model calibration toolbox. The results show that the proposed method is simple and flexible, the maximum relative error of the calibration parameters is 0.03%, and it meets the requirements of system calibration in medical or industrial fields.
