20210295565, Sep 23, 2021

Filed:

Jun 6, 2021

Appl. No.:

17/340081

Inventors:

- West Lafayette IN, US
Tyler Bell - Lafayette IN, US

Assignee:

Purdue Research Foundation - West Lafayette IN

International Classification:

G06T 9/00
G06T 7/90

Abstract:

A method for generating encoded depth data includes receiving digital fringe projection (DFP) data corresponding to a three-dimensional structure of a physical object, and generating first and second fringe encodings for a first predetermined wavelength based on the DFP data at a first coordinate. The method further includes generating third and fourth fringe encodings for a second predetermined wavelength based on the DFP data at the first coordinate, the second wavelength being longer than the first wavelength, and generating a combined fringe encoding based on the third fringe encoding and the fourth fringe encoding. The method further includes storing the first, second, and combined fringe encoding data in a pixel of two-dimensional image data at a pixel coordinate in the two-dimensional image data corresponding to the first coordinate.

Abstract:

A method of processing data includes obtaining, by an encoding medium, the data of at least one of a geometry information or a texture information of a target. The method additionally includes converting, by the encoding medium, the geometry information into a plurality of periodical functions. Additionally, converting, by the encoding medium, the texture information into a second 2-D representation. Further, the method includes converting, by the encoding medium, each periodical function of the plurality of periodical functions and the second 2-D representation into an image. Moreover, the method includes decoding, by a decoding medium, the image into a 3-D representation using a transformation.
