955-fps Real-time Shape Measurement of a Moving/Deforming Object using High-speed Vision for Numerous-point Analysis

This paper describes real-time shape measurement using a newly developed high-speed vision system. Our proposed measurement system can observe a moving/deforming object at high frame rate and can acquire data in real-time. This is realized by using two-dimensional pattern projection and a high-speed vision system with a massively parallel co-processor for numerous-point analysis. We detail our proposed shape measurement system and present some results of evaluation experiments. The experimental results show the advantages of our system compared with conventional approaches.
