The principle and system structure of the depth measurement of weld pool surface in tungsten insert gas (TIG) welding are first introduced in the paper, then the problem of the common phase lines is studied. We analyze the causes and characteristics of the phase lines, and propose a phase correction method based on line ratio. The paper presents the principle and detail processing steps of this phase correction algorithm, and then the effectiveness and processing characteristics of the algorithm are verified by simulation. Finally, the algorithm is applied to phase processing in the depth measurement of the TIG weld pool surface and obtains satisfying results.
Detecting 3-D information on welding pool surface shape is difficult due to the arc light interference, high temperature
radiation and pool surface specular reflection. The characteristics of mirror like reflection on pool of liquid surface are
studied. Besides the way to obtain clear information-rich image of the pool area is discussed under the strong arc light.
Because of the strong arc light above the pool will affect the imaging of the relatively weaker laser stripes seriously, we
need to choose a suitable shooting angle and shooting distance to achieve well image. According to all these factors, the
optimal combination of the sensing structure parameters in theory is deduced. Based on this work, a vision detecting of
arc welding pool surface topography system was putted up in our laboratory, also actual measurement was carried out to
obtain more clear images of deformation laser stripes in welding pool. This will provide the three-dimensional
reconstruction a strong support.
Selecting an appropriate pitch is one of the most important aspects to ensure the system measurement range and
precision in grating projection principle of 3D profile measurement while the Fourier transform frequency spectrum is
separated completely. According to the concept of the equivalent wavelength, the basic requirement for measurement
system and the selection of projection grating pitch are discussed in this paper to avoid shadows and frequency spectrum
alias in a crossed-optical-axes system in Fourier Transform Profilometry (FTP). The influence of CCD sampling to the
FTP is also discussed to obtain CCD sampling condition. When the CCD sampling frequency is unchanged, it is
necessary to reduce the grating frequency which means to increase the grating pitch to satisfy the sampling condition.
Finally, the range of the grating pitch is determined, and the optimal grating pitch is obtained after the experiments.
