  • Method and System for 3D Imaging Using a Spacetime Coded Laser Projection System
    Publication number: 20090322859
    Abstract: A desktop three-dimensional imaging system and method projects a modulated plane of light that sweeps across a target object while a camera is set to collect an entire pass of the modulated plane of light over the object in one image to create a line stripe pattern. A spacetime coding scheme is applied to the modulation controller whereby a plurality of images of line stripe patterns can be analyzed and decoded to yield a three-dimensional image of the target object in a reduced scan time and with better accuracy than existing close range scanners.
