One-shot range scanner using coplanarity constraints

Abstract

Methods for scanning dynamic scenes are important in many applications and many systems using structured light have been proposed. Many of these systems use either multiple patterns projected rapidly or a single pattern. Although the former allows dense reconstruction with a sufficient number of patterns, it has difficulty in capturing objects in rapid motion. The latter technique uses only a single pattern and have no such difficulties, however, they often have stability problems and their result tend to have low resolution. In this paper, we develop a system to achieve dense and accurate 3D measurement from only a single image. The proposed system also has the advantage of being robust in terms of image processing.
