Adjacency-hopping de Bruijn Sequences for Non-repetitive Coding
This addresses the problem of non-repetitive coding for structured light and similar fields, though it is incremental as it builds on existing de Bruijn sequence concepts.
The paper introduces adjacency-hopping de Bruijn sequences, proving their existence and deriving their count, and applies them to structured light coding to create a color fringe pattern with advantages in non-repetitive coding and matching.
A special type of cyclic sequences named adjacency-hopping de Bruijn sequences is introduced in this paper. It is theoretically proved the existence of such sequences, and the number of such sequences is derived. These sequences guarantee that all neighboring codes are different while retaining the uniqueness of subsequences, which is a significant characteristic of original de Bruijn sequences in coding and matching. At last, the adjacency-hopping de Bruijn sequences are applied to structured light coding, and a color fringe pattern coded by such a sequence is presented. In summary, the proposed sequences demonstrate significant advantages in structured light coding by virtue of the uniqueness of subsequences and the adjacency-hopping characteristic, and show potential for extension to other fields with similar requirements of non-repetitive coding and efficient matching.
