Signal processing in an optical laser triangulation system with the minimum set of components

Measurement Techniques Aims and scope

A laser triangulation system is described which enables three-dimensional scanning of real objects to be carried out in order to obtain three-dimensional models of them, constructed from the minimum set of components without using specialized manipulators or a rigid laser-camera link. The results obtained with this system operating in real time are presented. The scanning errors are analyzed and algorithms which enable the accuracy of the system to be increased are considered.
