Abstract
Structured light technology is typical for capturing 3D point cloud data. This paper proposes a 3D reconstruction system to obtain point cloud data of complex objects based on nine-order Gray code and an eight-step structured light projection combined with a phase shift and phase unwrapping method. In this system, two projectors serve as bilateral projectors for structured light, along with a camera and rotating platforms. These components were used to obtain point cloud data from multiple perspectives, which helps avoid the shadow areas caused by a single projection angle and provides complementary point cloud data. The point clusters scanned under each perspective were transformed into the same coordinate system. Furthermore, a distance-based point cloud noise removal algorithm was proposed to optimize platform noise and facilitate point cloud data fusion. The experimental results proved that the system effectively captures 3D point cloud data for complex objects. The dimensional quantitative analysis of an aero engine blade was also performed.
