Prior-guided restoration of intense local specular highlight in fringe projection profilometry images
This paper presents a novel prior-guided restoration method, to our knowledge, aimed at removing and recovering intense local specular highlight in fringe projection profilometry (FPP) images of specular objects. Local reflections, caused by the direct reflection of the projector on smooth surfaces, often saturate pixel intensities, posing a significant obstacle to 3D shape reconstruction. The proposed method combines sinusoidal fringe projection principles with improved fitting techniques.

Wie ein Kaltkanal mit Simulation validiert wird
Das Verwenden eines Kaltkanal-blocks im Elastomerspritzguss hat neben der signifikanten Einsparung von Material auch etliche technische Vorteile. Beispielsweise lässt sich oft eine Trennebene zur Angussentnahme einsparen und somit der Prozess effizienter gestalten. Das Risiko von Scorch geht durch den Wegfall eines heißen Verteilers erheblich zurück und es kann dadurch in der Regel bei höheren Temperaturen mit kürzeren Füll- und Heizzeiten gefahren werden.
