This thesis develops a non-contact optical measurement system for measuring 3D object profiles from images of projected sinusoidal grating patterns. First, the fringe pattern with sinusoidal intensity is generated by a computer program and projected onto the object surface by a LCD projector. Four images of the projected fringe patterns with phase shift at 90-degree interval for a cycle are taken from the CCD camera. Phase-shifting technique is used to find the phase distribution of the distorted fringe pattern, and the branch cut algorithm is applied to compute the continuous phase distribution. The 3D profiles of the object can be obtained from the continuous phase distribution. 3D profiles of several test objects are reconstructed, and from the measured results, it shows that the developed non-contact optical measurement system can be used efficiently and accurately.
