3D shape measurement by structured light is a popular technique for recovering object surfaces. However, structured light technique assumes that scene points are directly illuminated by the light source(s). Consequently, global illumination effects, such as subsurface scattering in translucent objects, may cause measurement errors in recovered 3D shapes. In this research, we propose a 3D shape measurement method of translucent objects based on Fourier single-pixel imaging (FSI) technique. The 3D shapes of the translucent objects are reconstructed through stereo matching of direct illumination light, which is separated from the surface. Experimental results show that the proposed method can separate the direct illumination light and the subsurface scattering light. The feasibility and accuracy of the method are analyzed, and the qualitative and quantitative results of the method are provided.
