TLDR
This paper shows that the necessary computational burden to compute range values by means of active triangulation techniques can be reduced drastically by introducing weak geometrical constraints for the projector camera configurations.Abstract:
It has been shown earlier that efficient active triangulation methods for range data acquisition can be devised by employing an appropriate time-space encoding. In this paper we show that the necessary computational burden to compute range values by means of these techniques can be reduced drastically by introducing weak geometrical constraints for the projector camera configurations. Furthermore, we suggest the concept of a virtual measurement coordinate system reducing the triangulation to simple one-dimensional LUT operations. Thus, the range acquisition technique can be implemented very fast in a low cost PC based image processing environment. We show how to calibrate the system and give some experimental results.read more

A Coded Light Approach for Depth Map Acquisition
TL;DR: The Coded Light Approach is a technique to measure surface depth values in 3D coordinate space with modest device and computational cost by projecting Gray code patterns sequentially onto the surfaces to be measured, and capturing the corresponding deformed code patterns with a camera.
