Phase Shifting


Phase Shifting

Small variations in depth cause only a small deviation of the dark-bright border in the image, only a small part of a period. If the projection grid has a smooth modulation as a sine so a pixel sees a destinct gray-value. If the grid is shifted a quarter of the period the same pixel sees the grayvalue of the cosine. The quotient corresponds to the tangens function. Calculating the atan function gives is the interpolated angle within the period.

With a special optical element (called Option SINUS) attached to the lens of our LCD-Projectors give smoothly modulated grids.
