Abstract

In three-dimensional profilometry, the primary disadvantage of the monocular system equipped with a projector and a camera is that it is often highly dependent on the projector calibration. The projector calibration errors of the principal point and focal length are analyzed in this paper, and result in measuring the object deviation, including not only the rigid transformation, but also the scale transformation. Unfortunately, the deviation cannot be revealed by reprojection, the normal error analysis method. Here, a systematic recalibration method is proposed to correct the projector calibration errors of the principal point and focal length, where an accurate binocular three-dimensional measurement system is applied. The experimental results show that the method is effective. The three-dimensional measurement accuracy of the monocular system is improved approximately from 1.0 mm before projector recalibration to 0.10 mm afterward.
