Abstract

Line-laser beams are used for accurate measurement of 3D shape, which is robust to external illumination. For depth measurement, we project a line-laser beam across an object from the face and take an image of the beam on the object surface using a CCD camera at some angle with respect to the face. For shape measurement, we project parallel line-laser beams with narrow line to line distance. When a layer of thin materials attached to a cylinder is long narrow along its circumference, we can measure the shape of the layer with a small number of parallel line beams if we project line beams along the circumference of the cylinder. Measurement of the depth of the attached materials on a line-laser beam is based on the number of pixels between an imaginary line along the imaginary cylinder without the attached materials and the beam line along the materials attached to the cylinder. For this we need to localize the imaginary line in the captured image. In this paper, we model the shape of the line as an ellipse and localize the line with least square estimate. The proposed method results in smaller error (maximum 0.24mm) than a popular 3D depth camera (maximum 1mm).
