Abstract:Due to the complex nonlinear characteristics of the parameter model in a three-dimensional measurement system based on binocular structured light and the multi-frequency heterodyne method, traditional approaches face difficulties in accurately evaluating measurement uncertainty. Therefore, the Monte Carlo method is used to evaluate the uncertainty of the binocular structured light 3D reconstruction system. Firstly, a three-dimensional measurement model is established according to the conversion relationship of each coordinate system and the principle of multi-frequency heterodyne method, and the influence of main error sources on the measurement results is analyzed. Then, probability density functions of uncertainty components are derived to obtain the distribution of each parameter. Finally, the Monte Carlo model between parameters of the measurement system and surface parameters of the measured object is established, and the uncertainty of the measurement results is evaluated by large-scale random numerical simulation. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, experiments are conducted on the standard sphere and standard gauge blocks. The measurement data show that all the results obtained by Monte Carlo method can contain the nominal range of the eigenvalues of standard measuring tools, and the evaluation results are accurate.
