Time-encoded single-pixel 3D imaging
Abstract
Recently three-dimensional (3D) imaging achieves tremendous success in consumer and industrial manufacturing. However, current 3D imaging methods rarely observe dynamical events happening in a short time interval due to the imaging speed limitation. Here we propose a time-encoded single-pixel 3D (TESP-3D) imaging method based on active infrared imaging with high-speed structured illumination, which can acquire the 3D information of dynamic events at an ultra-high frame rate. This method uses single-pixel photodetectors instead of conventional CCD or CMOS devices as the imaging sensors to overcome the image capturing speed limitation. As a proof of concept, we perform continuous real-time 3D scanning imaging at a record 500,000 fps and acquire 3D information of objects moving at a speed of up to 25 m/s. We anticipate that this technology will have important applications in industrial on-line inspection and high throughput 3D screening.
