Title: Single-shot active 3D sensing based on stereo vision and adaptable speckle pattern projection

Abstract:

State-of-the-art 3D sensors, such as laser line profilers or structured light scanners, require multiple patterns or frames to reconstruct dense and accurate 3D profiles. The movement of the objects during the scanning process often leads to inaccurate measurements due to sequential image acquisition. Single-shot structured techniques are robust to motion, but the prevalent challenge in single-shot structured light methods is compromised accuracy. Tracking sparse features for stereo matching in speckle projected images can achieve higher accuracy but at the cost of low 3D density.

This work presents methods to acquire accurate sparse 3D points and dense depth by pre-processing the speckle images to reduce the speckle noise. Further, to increase the optimal working range of the system, an adaptable laser speckle projection system is proposed. The system adapts itself to achieve the desired speckle size when the measuring distance of the objects changes.
