TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the field of three-dimensional scanning, and in particular relates to a three-dimensional scanning device, method and apparatus, a storage medium and a processor.

BACKGROUND

In the related art, the means for acquiring dental cast data internationally in the field of dental diagnosis and treatment has gradually turned to the intraoral three-dimensional scanning technology from impression-based three-dimensional scanning. This technology is another revolution in digital processing of teeth. This technology abandons a dental cast data acquiring manner via impression, cast making, and three-dimensional scanning, and intraoral scanning can be directly performed to acquire tooth three-dimensional data. Two steps of impression and cast making are omitted in process time; material cost, labor cost and cast express fee needed in the above process are saved; and discomfort of customers during impression making can be avoided. The above advantages indicate that this technology is bound to be greatly developed, and has significant benefits on the market.

An oral cavity digital impression instrument is also called an intraoral three-dimensional scanner, and is a device which applies a probe type optical scanning head to directly scan an oral cavity of a patient and acquire three-dimensional shape and color texture information of surfaces of soft or hard tissues such as teeth, gums and mucosa in the oral cavity. A method for the device adopts an active structured light trigonometric survey imaging principle, and utilizes a digital projection system for projecting an active light pattern, and a camera acquisition system processes the acquired pattern through an algorithm for three-dimensional reconstruction and splicing.

When a structured light encoding pattern is designed, it is usually considered to decode the entire image by methods such as temporal phase unwrapping and spatial phase unwrapping. On the basis of obtaining a folding phase, phase unwrapping is also necessary to obtain a real absolute phase to solve the problem about periodicity of the folding phase. To globally unfold the phase, multiple image sequences or complex spatial encoding and decoding processes are usually required.

There is still no effective solution for the problems that in the related art, the multiple image sequences are required to be complexly encoded to generate the structured light encoding pattern.

It should be understood that adopted data can be exchanged under a proper situation so as to implement the embodiments, described herein, of the present disclosure in sequence except the illustrated or described sequences.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, an embodiment of a method for deflecting projection light rays based on three-dimensional scanning is provided. It needs to be explained that steps shown in a flowchart of the drawings may be performed in a computer system with a set of computer executable instructions. In addition, although a logical sequence is shown in the flowchart, the illustrated or described steps may be performed in sequence different from the sequence herein under some situations.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a three-dimensional scanning device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 1, the device includes a projection device 10, configured to project a fringe-encoded image to a to-be-scanned object, wherein the fringe-encoded image includes a first fringe group; and a camera 12, configured to collect the to-be-scanned object to obtain a camera image, wherein the camera image is an image of the to-be-scanned object on an imaging plane of the camera, and the imaging plane includes a first imaging interval. When the to-be-scanned object is located within an effective depth-of-field range of the three-dimensional scanning device, an image of the first fringe group on the imaging plane is located within the first imaging interval, and only the first fringe group exists in the first imaging interval.

In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the projection device is configured to project the fringe-encoded image to the to-be-scanned object, wherein the fringe-encoded image includes the first fringe group. The camera is configured to collect the to-be-scanned object to obtain the camera image, wherein the camera image is the image of the to-be-scanned object on the imaging plane of the camera, and the imaging plane includes the first imaging interval. When the to-be-scanned object is located within the effective depth-of-field range of the three-dimensional scanning device, the image of the first fringe group on the imaging plane is located within the first imaging interval, and only the first fringe group exists in the first imaging interval. The three-dimensional scanning device restricts, according to the linear propagation characteristic of light, the fringe-encoded image within the first imaging interval defined by a hardware structure of the three-dimensional scanning device. Thus, by utilizing the first imaging interval as an encoding cycle and ensuring unique encoding of the fringe-encoded image in the encoding cycle, the unique encoding can be guaranteed by utilizing a small amount of encoding information (i.e., fewer sequence images or less space codes) of the fringe-encoded image. Accordingly, the three-dimensional scanning device can be used by combining optical characteristics without relying on a high-difficulty hardware level, and dynamic scanning speed may also be increased by fewer image sequences or a simple space encoding and decoding method, thereby realizing a technical effect of improving the scanning efficiency, and then solving the technical problem that in the related art, the multiple image sequences are required to be complexly encoded to generate the structured light encoding pattern.

Optionally, as shown in FIG. 1, an effective depth of field ΔL is a distance between Z0 and Z2, wherein Z0 is a near-point position, Z2 is a far-point position, and when the to-be-scanned object is located between Z0 and Z2, a clear image of the to-be-scanned object can be collected by the camera.

That is, the effective depth of field ΔL=front depth of field ΔL1+rear depth of field ΔL2, wherein ΔL1+ΔL2 ranges from 10 mm to 20 mm.

Optionally, magnification of an optical system of the camera is usually about 3:1, and an imaging interval (e.g., the first imaging interval or a second imaging interval) of a fixed projection light ray on the camera image is d, namely a single-cycle range.

According to the technical solution claimed by the present application, in a scanning scenario with a small range of field of view, a structured light fringe pattern with a same encoded value inevitably moves in the image plane of the camera or the projection device within the effective range of depth of field due to an included angle of a binocular system and magnification of an optical lens, and the movement range is decided by three aspects: the effective depth of field, the included angle of the optical system and the magnification of the lens.

Optionally, the movement range includes a display interval of the projection device (e.g., a first display interval or a second display interval) and the imaging interval of the camera (e.g., the first imaging interval or the second imaging interval). After optical parameters of the projection device and the camera in the three-dimensional scanning device are determined, the movement range is determined, and by designing unique fringe encoding within the movement range, the unique encoded value across the entire image plane can be guaranteed. Due to the linear propagation characteristic of light, the light ray within the display interval cannot jump out of the imaging interval.

Optionally, the imaging movement range is utilized as one encoding cycle, unique encoding is guaranteed in the encoding cycle. Because the cycle can be ensured to be short according to optical design, the unique encoding can be guaranteed by utilizing a small amount of encoding information (fewer sequence images or less space codes).

FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of optical parameters of a lens according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 2, the optical parameters include: a front depth of focus and a rear depth of focus obtained according to a focal plane of the lens, and positions of circles of confusion in front of and behind the focal plane; and an effective depth of field of the lens, wherein the effective depth of field of the lens includes a front depth of field determined based on the front depth of focus, a rear depth of field determined based on the rear depth of focus and a shooting distance between the location of an object point (i.e., the to-be-scanned object) and the lens. The shooting distance includes a subject distance between the lens and the to-be-scanned object, a near-point distance between a near point of the depth of field and the lens, and a far-point distance between a far point of the depth of field and the lens.

Optionally, the lens shown in FIG. 2 may be a lens of a camera or a lens of a projection device.

Optionally, when the lens shown in FIG. 2 is the lens of the camera, the to-be-scanned object may be arranged within the effective depth-of-field range of the camera, a collected camera image of the to-be-scanned object is arranged within the range of the depth of focus, and an imaging interval (e.g., a first imaging interval or a second imaging interval) may be calculated according to the optical parameters determined based on the lens of the camera.

Optionally, when the lens shown in FIG. 2 is the lens of the projection device, a negative (or a phase) of a fringe-encoded image may be arranged within the range of the depth of focus of the projection device, the to-be-scanned object is arranged within the effective depth-of-field range of the projection device, and a display interval (e.g., a first display interval or a second display interval) may be calculated according to the optical parameters determined based on the lens of the projection device.

As an optional embodiment, a system included angle α is formed between a projection optical axis of the projection device and a collection optical axis of the camera. Optical parameters of the camera include lens magnification k₁, an effective depth of field ΔL of the three-dimensional scanning device and a first imaging interval dr, and d₁=ΔL×tgα÷k₁.

As an optional embodiment, the projection device includes an image display element. The image display element includes a first display interval provided with a first fringe group. Optical parameters of the projection device include lens magnification k₂ of the projection device and the first display interval D₁, and D₁=ΔL×tgα÷k₂.

As an optional embodiment, the fringe-encoded image further includes a second fringe group adjacent to the first fringe group. An imaging plane includes a second imaging interval adjacent to the first imaging interval. When the to-be-scanned object is located within the effective depth-of-field range of the three-dimensional scanning device, an image of the second fringe group on the imaging plane is located within the second imaging interval, and only the second fringe group exists in the second imaging interval.

Optionally, the first fringe group is projected to the near point of the depth of field of the projection device, and the second fringe group is projected to the far point of the depth of field of the projection device; or, the first fringe group is projected to the far point of the depth of field of the projection device, and the second fringe group is projected to the near point of the depth of field of the projection device.

As an optional embodiment, the fringe-encoded image includes a plurality of fringe groups periodically arranged, and first fringe groups and second fringe groups are respectively located in a cycle.

Optionally, the fringe-encoded image includes a time-encoded image or color-encoded image. The time-encoded image includes a plurality of time fringe patterns arranged based on time, and the color-encoded image includes a color fringe pattern encoded by a plurality of colors.

As an optional embodiment, binary encoding is adopted in the fringe-encoded image. In the time fringe image, pixels with fringes are denoted by a code 1, and pixels without fringes are denoted by a code 0. In the color-encoded pattern, pixels with red fringes (R) are denoted by a code 100, pixels with blue fringes (B) are denoted by a code 001, pixels with green fringes (G) are denoted by a code 010, and pixels without fringes are denoted by a code 000. Of course, if there are only two-color fringes, two-bit encoding may be adopted. For example, pixels with red fringes are denoted by a code 10, pixels with blue fringes are denoted by a code 01, and pixels without fringes are denoted by a code 00.

Optionally, when the fringe-encoded image is the time-encoded image, the time-encoded image includes the plurality of time fringe patterns which are sequentially projected according to a time sequence, wherein the plurality of time fringe patterns correspond to one encoding cycle.

Optionally, the first fringe group may be the time fringe pattern projected at the first time, and the second fringe group may be the time fringe pattern projected at the second time.

Optionally, the first fringe group may also be the color-encoded pattern.

FIG. 3a is a schematic diagram I of a first time fringe pattern according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 3b is a schematic diagram II of a second time fringe pattern according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 3c is a schematic diagram III of a third time fringe pattern according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 3a, FIG. 3b and FIG. 3c, the three time fringe patterns shown in FIG. 3a to FIG. 3c correspond to one encoding cycle, each fringe in the three time fringe patterns in the encoding cycle are decoded to obtain a time image encoding table, and the sequence of projected fringes can be determined according to the encoding table.

FIG. 3d is a schematic diagram of an encoding table of a time-encoded image according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 3d, a binary fringe code shown in FIG. 3d is obtained by sequentially acquiring values (adopting binary encoding 0 or 1) at same pixel positions in the time fringe patterns shown in FIG. 3a to FIG. 3c, and arranging the three time fringe patterns according to an acquisition time sequence.

A single-cycle fringe code of the first time fringe pattern is 10101000, and 10101000 may be periodically and repeatedly set in the first time fringe pattern. A single-cycle fringe code of the second time fringe pattern is 10001010, and 10001010 may be periodically and repeatedly set in the second time fringe pattern. A single-cycle fringe code of the third time fringe pattern is 11111111, and 11111111 may be periodically and repeatedly set in the third time fringe pattern. Of course, 10101000, 10001010 and 11111111 are correspondingly the same in repeated cycle number. In a projection process, the three time fringe patterns are projected according to the time sequence, for example, the first time fringe pattern is projected at a first projection time, the second time fringe pattern is projected at a second projection time, and the third time fringe pattern is projected at a third projection time.

Optionally, when the fringe-encoded image of the camera image is obtained before three-dimensional reconstruction, fringe damages caused by object boundaries, occlusions, reflection and other various severe environments all can be recognized by above encoding, such that the problem about ambiguous encoding is solved.

It needs to be explained that the three time fringe-encoded images shown in FIG. 3a to FIG. 3c are designed into a reconstruction cycle, and decoding and reconstruction work can be finished based on the three time fringe-encoded images, thereby greatly shortening the time for continuously collecting the time fringe-encoded images during dynamic scanning, and solving the problems of image misalignment, image blurring, decoding errors, etc. caused by rapid movement.

FIG. 4a is a schematic diagram of a color-encoded image according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 4a, each fringe in an encoding cycle is subject to color encoding, and the greater the kinds of colors used, the easier it is to design unique encoding. However, this also increases the difficulty of color encoding recognition, as it is more difficult to distinguish the differences between colors when there are more color kinds. The number of the fringes is controlled, such as 8, that is, encoding distinguishing may be performed through three colors, thereby greatly reducing encoding and decoding complexity.

FIG. 4b is a schematic diagram of an encoding table of a color-encoded image according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 4b, based on encoded values of different-colored fringe-encoded images (adopting binary encoding 0 or 1 to represent color three-channel information), a three-bit binary number is obtained, which is a fringe code.

For example, the fringe-encoded image shown in FIG. 4a has three colors, and each-color fringe corresponds to one encoding sequence, wherein an encoding sequence corresponding to a red fringe (R) is 100, an encoding sequence corresponding to a blue fringe (B) is 001, and an encoding sequence corresponding to a green fringe (G) is 010. Of course, the fringe-encoded image may also be a color fringe sequence arranged based on a DeBruijn sequence, or a plurality of fringe sequences repeatedly arranged with the color fringe sequence arranged based on the DeBruijn sequence as a single cycle.

Optionally, when the fringe-encoded image of the camera image is obtained before three-dimensional reconstruction, fringe damages caused by object boundaries, occlusions, reflection and other various severe environments all can be recognized by above encoding, such that the problem about ambiguous encoding is solved.

It needs to be explained that one simple color fringe-encoded image based on color encoding can be realized with the different colors of fringe-encoded images shown in FIG. 4a as one cycle, such that decoding and reconstruction can be implemented, the duration for collecting image sequences required for single-frame three-dimensional data during dynamic scanning is greatly shortened, encoding and decoding complexity and calculation losses are reduced, and the problems that due to many color kinds, an algorithm is complex and time-consuming, and decoding is in error are solved.

As an optional embodiment, a system included angle α is formed between a projection optical axis of a projection device and a collection optical axis of a camera. Optical parameters of the camera include lens magnification k₁, an effective depth of field ΔL of the three-dimensional scanning device and a second imaging interval d₂, and d₂=ΔL×tgα÷k₁.

As an optional embodiment, the projection device includes an image display element. The image display element includes a second display interval provided with a second fringe group. Optical parameters of the projection device include lens magnification k₂ of the projection device and the second display interval D₂, and D₂=ΔL×tgα÷k₂.

Optionally, the system included angle α ranges from 6 degrees to 10 degrees.

The processor determines, based on the camera image, pixel coordinates of a center of fringe in the camera image. The processor determines, based on the pixel coordinates of the fringes and the first imaging interval coordinates, a number of each fringe in the camera image. The processor performs, based on the pixel coordinates of the center of fringe and the number of each fringe, three-dimensional reconstruction to obtain a three-dimensional digital model of the to-be-scanned object.

As an optional embodiment, second imaging interval coordinates are preset in the processor. The processor determines, based on the camera image, the pixel coordinates of the center of fringe in the camera image. The processor determines, based on the pixel coordinates of the fringes, the first imaging interval coordinates and the second imaging interval coordinates, the number of each fringe in the camera image. The processor performs, based on the pixel coordinates and the number of the center of fringe, three-dimensional reconstruction to obtain a three-dimensional digital model of the to-be-scanned object.

As an optional embodiment, a light plane of each fringe and a corresponding number thereof in the fringe-encoded image are preset in the processor. The processor determines, based on the number of each fringe in the camera image and the corresponding number of the light plane of each fringe, a light plane corresponding to the pixel coordinates of the center of each fringe. The processor performs, based on the pixel coordinates of the center of each fringe and the corresponding light plane, trigonometric calculation to reconstruct a three-dimensional digital model of the to-be-scanned object.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart I of a three-dimensional scanning method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 5, the method performs, based on the above three-dimensional scanning device, following steps:

Step S504: The to-be-scanned object is collected by a camera to obtain a camera image, wherein the camera image is an image of the to-be-scanned object on an imaging plane of the camera, the imaging plane includes a first imaging interval, and when the to-be-scanned object is located within an effective depth-of-field range of a three-dimensional scanning device, an image of a first fringe group on the imaging plane is located within the first imaging interval, and only the first fringe group exists in the first imaging interval.

Step S506: A processor performs, based on the camera image, three-dimensional reconstruction on the to-be-scanned object.

In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the projection device is configured to project the fringe-encoded image to the to-be-scanned object, wherein the fringe-encoded image includes the first fringe group. The camera is configured to collect the to-be-scanned object to obtain the camera image, wherein the camera image is the image of the to-be-scanned object on the imaging plane of the camera, and the imaging plane includes the first imaging interval. When the to-be-scanned object is located within the effective depth-of-field range of the three-dimensional scanning device, the image of the first fringe group on the imaging plane is located within the first imaging interval, and only the first fringe group exists in the first imaging interval. The three-dimensional scanning device restricts, according to the linear propagation characteristic of light, the fringe-encoded image within the first imaging interval defined by a hardware structure of the three-dimensional scanning device. Thus, by utilizing the first imaging interval as an encoding cycle and ensuring unique encoding of the fringe-encoded image in the encoding cycle, the unique encoding can be guaranteed by utilizing a small amount of encoding information (i.e., fewer sequence images or less space codes) of the fringe-encoded image. Accordingly, the three-dimensional scanning device can be used by combining optical characteristics without relying on a high-difficulty hardware level, and dynamic scanning speed may also be increased by fewer image sequences or a simple space encoding and decoding method, thereby realizing a technical effect of improving the scanning efficiency, and then solving the technical problem that in the related art, the multiple image sequences are required to be complexly encoded to generate the structured light encoding pattern. As an optional embodiment, the method further includes: pixel coordinates of a center of each fringe in a camera image are determined based on the camera image; first imaging interval coordinates are preset in the processor, and a number of each fringe are determined based on the pixel coordinates of the fringes and the first imaging interval coordinates; and three-dimensional reconstruction is performed on the pixel coordinates of the center of each fringe based on the numbers to obtain a three-dimensional digital model of the to-be-scanned object.

As an optional embodiment, the camera collects the to-be-scanned object to obtain a camera image, wherein the camera image is an image of the to-be-scanned object on an imaging plane of the camera, and the imaging plane includes a first imaging interval and a second imaging interval. When the to-be-scanned object is located within an effective depth-of-field range of the three-dimensional scanning device, an image of a first fringe group on the imaging plane is located within the first imaging interval, and only the first fringe group exists in the first imaging interval; and an image of a second fringe group on the imaging plane is located within the second imaging interval, and only the second fringe group exists in the second imaging interval. It needs to be explained that when the to-be-scanned object moves within the effective depth of field range, the first fringe group moves within the first imaging interval but does not exceed the first imaging interval all the time, and the second fringe group moves within the second imaging interval but does not exceed the second imaging interval all the time.

As an optional embodiment, a projection device is configured to project a fringe-encoded image to a to-be-scanned object, wherein the fringe-encoded image includes a first fringe group and a second fringe group. A camera is configured to collect the to-be-scanned object to obtain a camera image, wherein the camera image is an image of the to-be-scanned object on an imaging plane of the camera, and the imaging plane includes a first imaging interval and a second imaging interval. When the to-be-scanned object is located within an effective depth-of-field range of the three-dimensional scanning device, an image of the first fringe group on the imaging plane is located within the first imaging interval, and only the first fringe group exists in the first imaging interval; and an image of the second fringe group on the imaging plane is located within the second imaging interval, and only the second fringe group exists in the second imaging interval. The three-dimensional scanning device restricts, according to the linear propagation characteristic of light, the fringe-encoded image within the first imaging interval and the second imaging interval defined by a hardware structure of the three-dimensional scanning device. Thus, by utilizing the first imaging interval for imaging only in one encoding cycle, utilizing the second imaging interval for imaging only in another encoding cycle and ensuring unique encoding of the fringe-encoded image in each encoding cycle, the unique encoding can be guaranteed by utilizing a small amount of encoding information (i.e., fewer sequence images or less space codes) of the fringe-encoded image. Accordingly, the three-dimensional scanning device can be used by combining optical characteristics without relying on a high-difficulty hardware level, and dynamic scanning speed may also be increased by fewer image sequences or a simple space encoding and decoding method, thereby realizing a technical effect of improving the scanning efficiency, and then solving the technical problem that in the related art, the multiple image sequences are required to be complexly encoded to generate the structured light encoding pattern. Sequence fringes with unique encoding may be repeatedly set in a same projection pattern, such that encoding difficulty is reduced.

As an optional embodiment, the method further includes: pixel coordinates of a center of each fringe in a camera image are determined based on the camera image; coordinates of a first imaging interval and a second imaging interval are preset in the processor, and a number of each fringe are determined based on the pixel coordinates of the fringes and the coordinates of the first imaging interval and the second imaging interval; and three-dimensional reconstruction is performed on the pixel coordinates of the center of each fringe based on the numbers to obtain a three-dimensional digital model of the to-be-scanned object.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart II of a three-dimensional scanning method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 6, the method includes following steps:

Step S602: A fringe-encoded image is projected to a to-be-scanned object, wherein the fringe-encoded image includes a time-encoded image or color-encoded image, the time-encoded image includes a plurality of time fringe patterns arranged based on time, and the color-encoded image includes a color fringe pattern encoded by a plurality of colors.

Step S604: A three-dimensional reconstructed image of the to-be-scanned object is collected, wherein a surface of the to-be-scanned object in the three-dimensional reconstructed image has the fringe-encoded image.

Step S606: A three-dimensional model of the to-be-scanned object is reconstructed based on the three-dimensional reconstructed image.

The fringe-encoded image is projected to the to-be-scanned object and is modulated by the to-be-scanned object and deformed, the obtained three-dimensional reconstructed image of the to-be-scanned object is a surface image of the scanned object, and the image includes the deformed fringe-encoded image.

In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the fringe-encoded image is projected to the to-be-scanned object and includes the time-encoded image or color-encoded image, the time-encoded image includes the plurality of time fringe patterns arranged based on time, and the color-encoded image includes a color fringe pattern encoded by a plurality of colors. The three-dimensional reconstructed image of the to-be-scanned object is collected, wherein the surface of the to-be-scanned object in the three-dimensional reconstructed image has the fringe-encoded image. The three-dimensional model of the to-be-scanned object is reconstructed based on the three-dimensional reconstructed image, such that through the time-encoded image or color-encoded image, the fringe-encoded image can have a unique fringe code, thereby achieving the purpose of ensuring the unique fringe encoding of the fringe-encoded image, realizing the technical effect of increasing dynamic scanning speed, and then solving the technical problem that encoding of required projection images in the three-dimensional scanning process is complex.

Optionally, in the color-encoded image, the color fringe pattern at least includes a first fringe group.

Optionally, in the time-encoded image, a time fringe pattern projected at the first time may be the first fringe group, and a time fringe pattern projected at the second time may be a second fringe group.

FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram of encoding occlusions according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 7, P1-P8 denote encoding fringes, wherein due to an object (i.e., a to-be-scanned object) obstructing the camera view at P1 and P2, there is a phenomenon of broken edges in the edge fringes, resulting in incompleteness of single-frame data. In addition, encoding information at P1 to P2 is very close to encoding information at P6 to P7, resulting in ambiguous encoding, and noise and cluttered data during three-dimensional reconstruction. But based on the technical solution provided by the present application, the fringe code can be recognized based on an image encoding table (e.g., a time image encoding table or a color image encoding table), thereby improving the efficiency of fringe code recognition.

In the above step S604, collecting the three-dimensional reconstructed image of the to-be-scanned object includes collecting one or more images obtained after projecting the fringe-encoded image to the to-be-scanned object, wherein when the fringe-encoded image is the time-encoded image, a plurality of images with surfaces having the fringe-encoded image may be collected, and the three-dimensional reconstructed image is determined based on the plurality of collected images; and when the fringe-encoded image is the color-encoded image, one image with a surface having the fringe-encoded image may be collected, and the three-dimensional reconstructed image is determined based on the image.

The above step S606 that a three-dimensional model of the to-be-scanned object is reconstructed based on the three-dimensional reconstructed image includes: adopting a monocular stereoscopic vision reconstruction system or a binocular stereoscopic vision system to reconstruct the three-dimensional model.

For example, in the process of reconstructing the three-dimensional model based on the binocular stereoscopic vision system, the binocular stereoscopic vision system includes a camera A and a camera B. In the process of collecting the three-dimensional reconstructed image of the to-be-scanned object, a three-dimensional reconstructed image collected by the camera A is a first three-dimensional reconstructed image, a three-dimensional reconstructed image collected by the camera B is a second three-dimensional reconstructed image, and then the three-dimensional model of the to-be-scanned object is reconstructed based on common fringe codes in the first three-dimensional reconstructed image and the second three-dimensional reconstructed image.

For another example, in the process of reconstructing the three-dimensional model based on the monocular stereoscopic vision system, the camera collects the three-dimensional reconstructed image, and the three-dimensional model of the to-be-scanned object is reconstructed based on fringes and corresponding light plane in the three-dimensional reconstructed image.

To facilitate illustration in the following description, content projected to the surface of the to-be-scanned object serves as fringe patterns wherein the fringe patterns include time fringe patterns (e.g., a first time fringe pattern, a second time fringe pattern, a third time fringe pattern, a fourth time fringe pattern and a fifth time fringe pattern) and color fringe patterns (e.g., a first color fringe pattern and a second color fringe pattern). Collected content with the to-be-scanned object serves as fringe images, wherein the fringe images have the to-be-scanned object, the surface of the to-be-scanned object has fringe patterns, and the fringe images include time fringe images (e.g., a first time fringe image, a second time fringe image, a third time fringe image, a fourth time fringe image and a fifth time fringe image) and color fringe images (e.g., a first color fringe image and a second color fringe image).

For example, after the first time fringe pattern is projected to the to-be-scanned object, the surface of the to-be-scanned object has the projected first time fringe pattern, and at the time, the image of the to-be-scanned object (i.e., the first time fringe image) is collected, such that the collected first time fringe image has the to-be-scanned object and the first time fringe pattern projected to the surface of the to-be-scanned object.

The relationship between other fringe patterns and fringe images is similar to the above relationship, which is not described in detail herein.

As an optional embodiment, when the fringe-encoded image is the time-encoded image, the three-dimensional scanning method further includes: the first time fringe pattern is projected to the surface of the to-be-scanned object at the first time; the first time fringe image on the surface of the to-be-scanned object is obtained; the second time fringe pattern is projected to the surface of the to-be-scanned object at the second time; the second time fringe image on the surface of the to-be-scanned object is obtained; and a time image encoding table is determined based on the first time fringe image and the second time fringe image.

Optionally, the first time is earlier than the second time.

According to the above embodiment of the present disclosure, the first time fringe pattern is projected to the surface of the to-be-scanned object at the first time, and the first time fringe image on the surface of the to-be-scanned object is obtained; the second time fringe pattern is projected to the surface of the to-be-scanned object at the second time, and the second time fringe image on the surface of the to-be-scanned object is obtained, such that the image encoding table is jointly defined based on the first time fringe image and the second time fringe image according to a time sequence.

It needs to be explained that the collected first time fringe image refers to the first three-dimensional reconstructed image, and the first three-dimensional reconstructed image includes the first time fringe pattern modulated by the to-be-scanned object; and the collected second time fringe image refers to the second three-dimensional reconstructed image, and the second three-dimensional reconstructed image includes the second time fringe pattern modulated by the to-be-scanned object.

As an optional embodiment, the operation of determining the time image encoding table based on the first time fringe image and the second time fringe image includes: a first encoding table is determined based on the first time fringe image; a second encoding table is determined based on the second time fringe image; and the time image encoding table is constructed based on the first encoding table and the second encoding table.

As an optional embodiment, the step that a first encoding table is determined based on the first time fringe image includes: first encoded values are correspondingly assigned to pixels with fringes in the first time fringe image, second encoded values are correspondingly assigned to pixels without fringes in the first time fringe image, and the first encoding table is constructed by the first encoded values and the second encoded values based on pixel position distribution of the first time fringe image. The step that a second encoding table is determined based on the second time fringe image includes: first encoded values are correspondingly assigned to pixels with fringes in the second time fringe image, second encoded values are correspondingly assigned to pixels without fringes in the second time fringe image, and the second encoding table is constructed by the first encoded values and the second encoded values based on the pixel position distribution of the second time fringe image. The step that the time image encoding table is constructed based on the first encoding table and the second encoding table includes: the encoded values at same pixel positions in the first encoding table and the second encoding table are arranged according to an obtaining sequence of the first time fringe image and the second time fringe image to serve as encoding sequences of corresponding pixels, and the time image encoding table is constructed based on the encoding sequences.

As an optional embodiment, the encoding table adopts binary encoding, encoded values corresponding to pixels with fringes in the time-encoded image are denoted by 1, and encoded values corresponding to pixels without fringes in the time-encoded image are denoted by 0.

According to the above embodiment of the present disclosure, a plurality of pixel positions are arranged in the time fringe patterns (e.g., the first time fringe pattern and the second time fringe pattern), and each pixel can represent binary encoding. For example, if the pixels with fringes are distributed at the pixel position, which are represented by a first encoded value, such as 1; and if the pixels without fringes are distributed at the pixel position, which are represented by a second encoded value, such as 0. Thus, the corresponding first encoding table is achieved based on the first time fringe image, and the corresponding second encoding table is achieved based on the second time fringe image. Accordingly, based on the first encoding table and the second encoding table, the corresponding encoding sequences of same pixel positions can be obtained according to the fringe obtaining sequence to constitute the time image encoding table.

For example, a pixel position A in the first time fringe image is encoded as 1, and a position B is encoded as 0; and a pixel position A in the second time fringe image is encoded as 0, and a position B is encoded as 1. Thus, the first encoding table corresponding to the first time fringe image is (A:1, B:0), and the second encoding table corresponding to the second time fringe image is (A:0, B:1). Accordingly, the time image encoding table determined based on the first encoding table and the second encoding table is (A:10, B:01).

Optionally, there may be two or more projected time fringe patterns, and the plurality of time fringe patterns are sequentially arranged according to the time sequence, thereby generating a multi-bit code.

As an optional embodiment, after the second time fringe image on the surface of the to-be-scanned object is obtained, the method further includes: the third time fringe pattern is projected to the surface of the to-be-scanned object at the third time; the third time fringe image on the surface of the to-be-scanned object is obtained; and a time image encoding table is determined based on the first time fringe image, the second time fringe image and the third time fringe image.

For example, the pixel position A in the first time fringe image is encoded as 1, and the position B is encoded as 0; the pixel position A in the second time fringe image is encoded as 0, and the position B is encoded as 1; and a pixel position A in the third time fringe image is encoded as 1, and a position B is encoded as 1. Thus, the first encoding table corresponding to the first time fringe image is (A:1, B:0), the second encoding table corresponding to the second time fringe image is (A:0, B:1) and the third encoding table corresponding to the third time fringe image is (A:1, B:1). Accordingly, the image encoding table determined based on the first encoding table, the second encoding table and the third encoding table is (A:101, B:011).

As an optional embodiment, the step that a time image encoding table is determined based on the first time fringe image, the second time fringe image and the third time fringe image includes: first encoded values are correspondingly assigned to pixels with fringes in the first time fringe image, second encoded values are correspondingly assigned to pixels without fringes in the first time fringe image, and a first encoding table is constructed by the first encoded values and the second encoded values based on pixel position distribution of the first time fringe image; first encoded values are correspondingly assigned to pixels with fringes in the second time fringe image, second encoded values are correspondingly assigned to pixels without fringes in the second time fringe image, and a second encoding table is constructed by the first encoded values and the second encoded values based on pixel position distribution of the second time fringe image; first encoded values are correspondingly assigned to pixels with fringes in the third time fringe image, second encoded values are correspondingly assigned to pixels without fringes in the third time fringe image, and a third encoding table is constructed by the first encoded values and the second encoded values based on pixel position distribution of the third time fringe image; and the encoded values at same pixel positions in the first encoding table, the second encoding table and the third encoding table are arranged according to an obtaining sequence of the first time fringe image, the second time fringe image and the third time fringe image to serve as encoding sequences of corresponding pixels, and the time image encoding table is constructed based on the encoding sequences.

As an optional embodiment, after a time image encoding table is determined based on the first time fringe image and the second time fringe image, the method further includes: the fourth time fringe pattern is projected to the surface of the to-be-scanned object to obtain the fourth time fringe pattern on the surface of the to-be-scanned object, and a sequence of each fringe in the fourth time fringe image is determined based on the time image encoding table; and the fifth time fringe pattern is projected to the surface of the to-be-scanned object to obtain the fifth time fringe pattern on the surface of the to-be-scanned object, and a sequence of each fringe in the fifth time fringe image is determined based on the time image encoding table, wherein the fifth time fringe pattern is obtained by deflecting the fringes in the fourth time fringe pattern by a distance d in a same direction.

FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram of reconstructed fringe offset according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 8, assuming that fringe spacing is L, reconstructed fringes may be designed into a dense fringe group with equidistant offset, such that the dense degree of single-frame data is increased. The offset distance d of the fringes may be designed as ½, ⅓, ¼, etc. of L according to the requirement for the fringe resolution, and the smaller the fringe offset distance, the higher the resolution; and the larger the fringe offset distance, the smaller the number of fringe images, the higher the scanning speed.

Optionally, based on the three-dimensional scanning device shown in FIG. 1, device parameters such as the effective depth of field of a projection system, lens magnification of the camera and the optical included angle between the projection optical axis of the projection system and the camera shooting optical axis of the camera are decided by physical properties of hardware in the three-dimensional scanning device, and based on the above device parameters, the fringe-encoded image moves in an image plane of the camera.

Accordingly, the fringe-encoded image cannot exceed a collection range of the camera based on the device parameters of the above three-dimensional scanning device, thereby facilitating three-dimensional reconstruction on the collected image of the to-be-scanned object with the fringe code.

It needs to be explained that in a scanning scenario with a small range of field of view, a structured light time fringe pattern (i.e., the fringe-encoded image) with a same encoded value inevitably moves in the image plane of the camera within the effective range of depth of field due to the included angle of the binocular system and the magnification of the optical lens, and the movement range is decided by three aspects: the effective depth of field, the included angle of the optical system and the magnification of the lens. After the parameters of the optical system are fixed, the movement range (i.e., the offset distance) is determined, and by designing unique fringe encoding within the movement range (i.e., the offset distance) the unique encoded value across the entire image plane can be guaranteed. Due to the linear propagation characteristic of light, projection light rays within the movement range (i.e., the offset distance) cannot jump out of the range. The movement range (i.e., the offset distance) is utilized as one encoding cycle, unique encoding is guaranteed in the encoding cycle, and because the encoding cycle can be ensured to be short according to optical design, the unique encoding can be guaranteed by utilizing a small amount of encoding information (fewer sequence images or less space codes). Because fringes in other encoding cycles cannot interfere with fringes in this encoding cycle within a global range, a plurality of encoding cycles are usually adopted in the entire image plane.

As an optional embodiment, when the fringe-encoded image is the color-encoded image, the three-dimensional scanning method includes: the color-encoded image is projected to the surface of the to-be-scanned object, wherein the color-encoded image includes the first color fringe pattern and the second color fringe pattern; the color fringe images on the surface of the to-be-scanned object are obtained, wherein the color fringe images include the first color fringe image and the second color fringe image; and a color image encoding table is determined based on the first color fringe image and the second color fringe image.

It needs to be explained that the first color fringe image and the second color fringe image are formed by acquiring, through corresponding color channels, multiple colors of fringes in a same color fringe pattern. For example, one color fringe pattern includes a combined arrangement of red fringes and green fringes, a red channel of the camera obtains the red fringes to form a red fringe image, and a green channel of the camera obtains the green fringes to form a green fringe image.

As an optional embodiment, the step that a color image encoding table is determined based on color fringe images includes: a first color encoding table is determined based on the first color fringe image; a second color encoding table is determined based on the second color fringe image; and the color image encoding table is constructed based on the first color encoding table and the second color encoding table.

As an optional embodiment, the step that a first color encoding table is determined based on the first color fringe image includes a first encoding sequence is correspondingly assigned to pixels with a first color in the first color fringe image, a fourth encoding sequence is correspondingly assigned to pixels without the first color in the first color fringe image, and the first color encoding table is constructed by the first encoding sequence and the fourth encoding sequence based on pixel position distribution of the first color fringe image. The step that a second color encoding table is determined based on the second color fringe image includes: a second encoding sequence is correspondingly assigned to pixels with a second color in the second color fringe image, a fourth encoding sequence is correspondingly assigned to pixels without the second color in the second color fringe image, and the second color encoding table is constructed by the second encoding sequence and the fourth encoding sequence based on pixel position distribution of the second color fringe image. The step that the color image encoding table is constructed based on the first color encoding table and the second color encoding table includes: superposing the encoding sequence at same pixel positions in the first color encoding table and the second color encoding table as encoding sequences of corresponding pixels, and constituting the color image encoding table based on superimposed encoding sequences corresponding to a distribution of each pixel.

As an optional embodiment, the encoding table adopts binary encoding. The first encoding sequence corresponding to the pixels with the first color in the color-encoded image is (0, 0, 1), the second encoding sequence corresponding to the pixels with the second color in the color-encoded image is (0, 1, 0), and the fourth encoding sequence corresponding to the pixels without colors in the color-encoded image is (0, 0, 0).

The programs, when running, control a device where the computer-readable storage medium is located to execute the above three-dimensional scanning method.
