Abstract

In this paper we present two new sensor systems for 3D data acquisition. Both systems are primarily designed for face scanning applications, but their performance characteristics are useful for technical applications as well. Their operating principle is based on structured light, more precisely on color coded light, implemented in the invisible near infrared spectrum. The resulting 3D data acquisition works in real-time, shows high robustness against ambient light and provides accurate high resolution depth maps.

Thus, most of the limiting factors known from other face scanning systems are eliminated, such as visible annoying and blinding light patterns, motion constraints and highly restricted application scenarios due to ambient light constraints.
