About

Xianyu Su is a pioneering figure in optical metrology, best known for his transformative contributions to dynamic three-dimensional (3-D) shape measurement. His research focuses on structured light projection, fringe projection profilometry, and high-speed 3-D imaging techniques, which have enabled the real-time capture of moving objects with unprecedented accuracy. Su’s seminal review, "Dynamic 3-D shape measurement method: A review" (2009), has garnered over 588 citations, serving as a foundational reference for researchers worldwide. His work has advanced applications in industrial inspection, biomedical imaging, and virtual reality, bridging the gap between theoretical optics and practical engineering. Notably, Su developed innovative algorithms for phase unwrapping and fringe analysis, overcoming long-standing challenges in dynamic measurement. His achievements include leading major national research projects in China and mentoring a generation of optical engineers. With a career spanning decades, Su’s influence is evident in the widespread adoption of his methods in both academia and industry, making him a key architect of modern dynamic 3-D imaging.
