Method of Linear Structured Light Sub-pixel Center Position Extracting Based on Gradient Barycenter
Aiming at extracting the center position of light stripe accurately and efficiently in linear structured light measurement system
a method which extracts sub-pixel center position of light stripe was proposed
according to the property of the light stripes intensity gradient and non-normal distribution. The method applies low pass filter and power transformation to decrease the error caused by image noise and non-normal distribution of stripe intensity
it uses adaptive threshold method to obtain the light stripes gray edge
and extracts the sub-pixel center position of light stripe by gradient barycenter. Our experiment results proved that gradient barycenter method not only extracts the stripe center accurately
but also has good anti-noise and robust performance. The method improved the measurement precision of the 3D measurement system remarkably.
