Measurement of three dimensional object shape by means of the phase-shifting shadow moire

The shadow moire is one of the optical techniques which is able to give contour lines of an object with respect to a master grating plane. The moire patterns are issued from the superposition of a master grating and its shadow projected on the surface of an object. In case of the classical shadow moire method, the sensitivity was a few tenths millimeters. generally, it is difficult to use a phase shift method in shadow moire because it is impossible to obtain uniform phase shifts on the whole field. But in this study we use the fact that if the depth of object is much less than the distance between the observer and the master grating, and the object is displaced perpendicularly to the grating plane, phase shifts are almost uniform. Finally we obtained a better resolution by using a phase shift procedure and applied the phase shifting shadow moire to three dimensional shape measurement.
