3D SCANNER USING MERGED PARTIAL IMAGES

摘要

Disclosed is a structured light 3D scanner based on the principle of triangulation with a light source for generating a light pattern, two cameras with two-dimensional sensors recording the reflection of the light pattern from a target object, and one axis moving the cameras. Wherein the cameras are arranged with at least partly overlapping fields of view and where the sensors in the cameras are read out partially and concurrently during at least some period of the scanning process, thus providing partial images and where the partial images are merged prior to performing the triangulation calculations.
