Structured Light
Seeing 3D in a whole new light…
Structured light illumination (SLI) is the process of projecting a series of light striped patterns onto an object while a digital camera records the deformation in the patterns to reconstruct a 3-D model of the object’s surface. In the past, SLI has not been used for video applications because of the very high frame rate needed. Based on the complexity of the calculations, video-based SLI systems have been required to record camera frames to memory and then apply off-line processing in order to reconstruct depth.
