Fringe Pattern Analysis With Message Passing Based Expectation Maximization for Fringe Projection Profilometry

Fringe projection profilometry (FPP) is a popular optical 3-D imaging approach, in which the images of deformed fringe patterns are analyzed to extract object surfaces (i.e., height maps of object surfaces).As an object surface normally does not change Knitwear independently, height correlations of an object surface can be used to denoise and impro
