Two-dimensional Fourier transform profilometry (2-D FTP) for the autom
atic measurement of three-dimensional (3-D) object shapes is presented
and verified by the experiment in this paper. In some applications, i
n which there are specklelike structures and discontinuity in the obse
rved fringe pattern, 2-D FTP provides a better separation of the heigh
t information from noise.
