3D measurement of scattering media based on self-supervised fringe domain transformation

The scattering media measurement for structured light techniques remains challenging due to the subsurface scattering that destroys fringe patterns and introduces phase error. Recently, deep learning has been successfully applied to fringe analysis. Unfortunately, collecting a large scale of labeled data is difficult, especially in scattering media measurement scenarios. Inspired by image style transfer, we proposed a high-precision scattering medium measurement method based on self-supervised fringe domain transformation. Specifically, by treating degraded fringe and ideal fringe as two pattern styles, a cycle generation strategy is developed to achieve fringe enhancement by translating between two fringe domains. Two generators and two discriminators are used to form cycle-consistency constraints for self-supervised learning with unpaired dataset. Additionally, we combine numerical and physical constraints to jointly optimize network parameters, effectively suppressing phase-shift errors and improving phase quality. Since the proposed approach eliminates the need for label data, it exhibits great potential for applying deep learning to scattering medium measurement. Experiments verify that our method can obtain high-quality 3D morphology of translucent objects.
