Abstract

Fringe projection profilometry is widely used in different areas; it has the benefit of retrieving full-field height information from a single or multiple fringe patterns with high precision and accuracy. Several algorithms are proposed on literature, most are techniques that base their analysis on the projection of sinusoidal fringe patterns, where the shape of an object is modulated into the pattern. In this paper, some algorithms have been reviewed and classified as spatial or temporal techniques, which make them suitable for the analysis of dynamic or static objects.
