Abstract

Linear phase estimation is crucial for accuracy of sinusoidal structured-light range imaging. This Letter presents value probability analysis for a continuously differentiable function and shows that the probability of a value of the function is closely related to the derivative of the function. We apply the value probability analysis to the intensity, phase, and intermediate values in sinusoidal structured light, and we show that the probability adjustment of phase is more effective than those of other values for linear phase estimation. The phase probability adjustment is applied to synthetic and real scenarios of sinusoidal structured-light range imaging to show the effectiveness of the presented analysis and adjustment.
