Deep Learning-Based Invalid Point Removal Method for Fringe Projection Profilometry by Nan He, Jiachun Huang, Shaoli Liu, Sizhe Fan, Jianhua Liu, Jia Hu, Hao Gong

“…In this paper, we propose a novel invalid point removal framework that consists of two aspects: (1) A convolutional neural network (CNN) is designed to segment the foreground from the background of different intensity conditions in FPP measurement circumstances to remove background points and the most discrete points in background regions. (2) A two-step method based on the fringe image intensity threshold and a bilateral filter is proposed to eliminate the small number of discrete points remaining after background segmentation caused by shadows and edge areas on objects. …”
