Abstract

A Phase-only spatial light modulator can provide active spot pattern projection with high signal-to-noise ratio and form near-arbitrary phase modulation surfaces. As a result they can diffract laser beams into a near-arbitrary pattern of laser spots. Depending on the sequence of phase images loaded onto the SLM, the spots can be scanned on independent and continuous two-dimensional trajectories. We refer to this flexible beamsteering system as the real-time adaptive multi-spot laser beamsteering system (RAMS-LBS). This paper presents work under progress, in developing 2D and 3D calibration algorithms for a spot pattern projection system. In the 2D calibration process, spot grids are projected with successively more spot locations. After each projection, a higher order model is determined for camera to projector coordinate transforms. The accuracies of different model orders are measured. In the 3D calibration process, grids of spots are projected onto non-coplanar target grid to construct the transformation matrix between different coordinates. Perspective distortions are included in the transformation vectors after the calibration. Therefore, 3D information of the target can be obtained in the calibrated system. Applications such as 3D target surface topology measurement and target detection using 2D and 3D information are described in this paper.
