Accurate infrared structured light sensing system for dynamic 3D acquisition

3D real-time acquisition plays a vital role in computer graphics and computer vision. In this paper, we present a dynamic IR structured light sensing system with high resolution and accuracy for real-time 3D scanning. We adopt the Gray code combined with stripe shifting as our 3D acquisition's coding strategy and parallelize the algorithm via the GPU in our IR 3D scanning system. Our built-up system can capture dense and high-precision 3D model sequences with a speed of 29 Hz. Furthermore, we propose a practical calibration method to obtain accurate calibration parameters for our system. Finally, various experiments are performed to verify the feasibility and accuracy of our proposed IR structured light sensing system.
