Abstract:

Coded structured light is an active approach that obtains the shape of object. In our previous work, we proposed a new binary projection mechanism for inspecting semiconductor products. The mechanism consists of only a single light source in combination with a binary grating for projecting binary pattern. By shifting the binary grating in space and in every shifting taking a separate image of the illuminated surface, each position on the illuminated surface is attached with a unique binary string for correspondence. In the mechanism the inspection speed is governed by the number of needed images which also equals to the number of shiftings of the grating. To reduce image number, we propose that two neighbor bits are combined together to produce 1 unique codeword, which is referred to as bit-pairing mechanism. This paper addresses how the spatial shifting of bit-pairing mechanism can be designed optimally for minimizing this number for faster inspection speed. An optimal solution to shifting strategy optimization is proposed that is applicable to any given binary patterns. Theoretical analysis and real image experiments are presented to illustrate the workability of the solutions.
