Line-structured light three-dimensional (3D) measurement is commonly used for three-dimensional contour reconstruction of objects in complex industrial environments, but the problem of missing information occurs when three-dimensional reconstruction is performed on objects with smooth surfaces, single texture, and high reflectivity, resulting in defective reconstructed object surfaces. For this reason, this study proposes a fused complementary 3D reconstruction technique based on a polarization-based binocular line-structured light system. First, the reconstructed image of the object is captured using a Polarization Binocular Camera, and the polarized imaging effectively reduces the strong highlights and extracts more detailed information on the surface of the object. Then, the calibrated camera and optical planes are used to acquire the spatial coordinates of the object reconstructed by the left camera and right camera. Finally, the spatial coordinates obtained by the left camera and right camera are aligned, and the high-precision 3D reconstruction results are generated. The experimental results show that the proposed method can effectively improve the accuracy and robustness of 3D reconstruction, has a good application prospect, and can meet the technical requirements of industrial 3D measurement.
