  • Apparatus for capturing superimposed distance and intensity images
    Patent number: 10261188
    Abstract: An apparatus for capturing superimposed distance and intensity images includes a distance image measuring arrangement provided with a distance radiation source, an intensity radiation source, a distance detection unit and an intensity detection unit. Distance measurement radiation from the distance radiation source and intensity measurement radiation from the intensity radiation source are incident on an area of a surface of a test object via a jointly used radiation deflection unit. The optical components of the distance image measuring arrangement and the intensity image measuring arrangement are mounted on a support structure in a fixed spatial relationship with respect to each other. Distance and intensity images are thus superimposed in an optically positionally accurate manner to produce high-quality real-time images.
