An Improved Projector Calibration Method by Phase Mapping Based on Fringe Projection Profilometry.

Aiming at the problem of the low accuracy of projector calibration in a structured light system, an improved projector calibration method is proposed in this paper. One of the key ideas is to estimate the sub-pixel coordinates in the projector image plane using local random sample consensus (RANSAC). A bundle adjustment (BA) algorithm is adopted to optimize the calibration parameters to further improve the accuracy and robustness of the projector calibration. After system calibration and epipolar rectification, the mapping relationship between the pixel coordinates and the absolute phase in the projector image plane is established by using cubic polynomial fitting, and the disparity is rapidly solved by using the mapping relationship, which not only ensures the measurement accuracy, but also improves the measurement efficiency. The experimental results demonstrated that the average re-projection error after optimization is reduced to 0.03 pixels, and the proposed method is suitable for high-speed 3D reconstruction without the time-consuming homogenous point searching.

Bioleaching of arsenic-rich gold concentrates by bacterial flora before and after mutation.

In order to improve the bioleaching efficiency of arsenic-rich gold concentrates, a mixed bacterial flora had been developed, and the mutation breeding method was adopted to conduct the research. The original mixed bacterial flora had been enrichedin acid mine drainage of Dexing copper mine, Jiangxi Province, China. It was induced by UV (ultraviolet), ultrasonic, and microwave, and their combination mutation. The most efficient bacterial flora after mutation was collected for further bioleaching of arsenic-rich gold concentrates. Results indicated that the bacterial flora after mutation by UV 60 s combined with ultrasonic 10 min had the best oxidation rate of ferrous, the biggest density of cells, and the most activity of total protein. During bioleaching of arsenic-rich gold concentrates, the density of the mutant bacterial cells reached to 1.13 × 108 cells/mL at 15 days, more than 10 times compared with that of the original culture. The extraction of iron reached to 95.7% after 15 days, increased by 9.9% compared with that of the original culture. The extraction of arsenic reached to 92.6% after 12 days, which was increased by 46.1%. These results suggested that optimum combined mutation could improve leaching ability of the bacterial flora more significantly.
