Single-frame phase demodulation technique based on the improved Hilbert–Huang transform
Single-frame fringe projection techniques can be used to measure the three-dimensional shape of dynamic and continuous objects. The Hilbert–Huang transform is widely applied to single-frame phase demodulation due to its adaptive local analysis capability; however
the empirical mode decomposition suffers from difficulty in concentrating the extraction of fringe components
which degrades phase demodulation accuracy. To address this issue
a single-frame phase demodulation method based on an improved Hilbert–Huang transform is proposed. First
the wavelet transform is applied to the denoised fringe pattern to estimate the local fringe period. Then
the local period is used as the adaptive filter size in empirical mode decomposition
enabling the fringe component to be concentrated into a single intrinsic mode function. Finally
the Hilbert transform is applied to the extracted fringe component to complete phase demodulation. Simulation and experimental results demonstrate that
compared with existing method
the phase demodulation accuracy is improved by approximately three times. The proposed method provides an effective phase demodulation method for single-frame fringe projection techniques.
