Scanning device and method for determining the contours of an object

摘要

The scanning device (1) comprises a light source (7) for generating a light pattern on the surface of an object (2), and a camera (12) for detecting the light pattern on the surface of the object. The light source has an incoherent light source. The light source is a point light source. The incoherent light source is a light emitting diode. An independent claim is also included for a method for determining the contour of an object.
