Abstract
En 中文
Fringe projection profilometry (FPP) is an optical, noncontact 3D measurement method widely applied across industries. In the manufacturing industry, this method can be used to inspect structural components and detect defects such as buckles or gaps in automotive industries. Due to its resolution in the micrometer range, smaller components can also be measured precisely. However, the usually static setup and the use of multistep phase-shifting algorithms often limit the applicability, especially as the latter requires an interference-free system. Nevertheless, due to the large possible field of view (often several square decimeters, or even more) and the good depth resolution, the use of FPP is also interesting for inspection and fault detection of wind turbines or buildings, for example. However, as surfaces to be measured are often difficult to reach, a static setup from the ground is economically not feasible. Therefore, we present the concept of an FPP system mounted on a drone for in-flight inspection. The challenge when using a drone is due to motion sensitivity, resulting in additional noise, which necessitates single-shot measurements based on the analysis of a single camera image only. Compared with conventional FPP, our method projects a fixed grating and requires a complex, spatially-resolved phase analysis. Although it is restricted with respect to the maximum height of steps on the surface, it promises good results in the desired applications. Initial measurement results obtained with an FPP system under laboratory conditions are presented as a feasibility analysis for drone-based investigation of rotor blades. This feasibility study aims to ensure the basic suitability of the FPP method in the presence of typical surface coatings of rotor blades. In addition to investigating the measuring capability of the system for various common coatings, the measurement of surface defects is also investigated.
