Abstract: The dynamic three-dimensional(3D) surface imaging technology based on fringe projection was summarized and the characteristics of typical strategies were analyzed. Firstly, the basic principle of the technique was introduced, including the basic structure of the system, the principle of 3D surface imaging, and the two typical phase extraction methods, phase shifting method and Fourier transform method. Secondly, the dynamic imaging scheme including high speed projection scheme and dynamic 3D surface imaging method using relatively low speed camera was introduced. Thirdly, the absolute phase acquisition methods in dynamic 3D image were introduced, mainly analog and digital coding and area statistical coding, were introduced. Finally, the methods of accurate dynamic phase measurement were introduced.
