Abstract: Structured light 3D imaging is often used for obtaining accurate 3D information via phase retrieval. Single-pattern structured light 3D imaging is much faster than multi-pattern versions. Current phase retrieval methods for single-pattern structured light 3D imaging are however not accurate enough. Besides, the projector resolution in a structured light 3D imaging system is expensive to improve due to hardware costs. To address the issues of low accuracy and low resolution of single-pattern structured light 3D imaging, this work proposes a super-resolution phase retrieval network (SRPRNet). Specifically, a phase-shifting module is proposed to extract multi-scale features with different phase shifts, and a refinement and super-resolution module is proposed to obtain refined and super-resolution phase components. After phase demodulation and unwrapping, high-resolution absolute phase is obtained. A sine shifting loss and a cosine shifting loss are also introduced to form the regularization term of the loss function. As far as can be ascertained, the proposed SRPRNet is the first network for super-resolution phase retrieval by using a single pattern, and it can also be used for standard-resolution phase retrieval. Experimental results on three datasets show that SRPRNet achieves state-of-the-art performance on <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$1\times $ </tex-math></inline-formula> , <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$2\times $ </tex-math></inline-formula> , and <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$4\times $ </tex-math></inline-formula> super-resolution phase retrieval tasks.
