FULLY AUTOMATIC DIGITAL FRINGE PROJECTION MEASUREMENT FOR 3D FACIAL SURFACE

Digital fringe projection technique is widely used in industrial applications with high accuracy and measurement speed. In this study, a fully automatic high-speed digital fringe projection technique is presented to profile 3D facial characteristics. The structured light with fringe pattern is used to be the light source in the measurement system and is projected by a digital light processing projector. The distorted fringe patterns from facial surface are captured by the digital camera. The absolute phase maps are calculated by using phase-shifting and quality guided path unwrapping algorithm. A complete, 3D facial feature is obtained by our measurement. We achieved simultaneous phase acquisition, reconstruction and three-dimensional (3D) exhibition at a speed of 0.5s. This technique may provide a high accuracy and real-time 3D facial measurement for biometric verification.
