This technology is a system for three-dimensional scanning and digital reconstruction of physical objects that eliminates the need for multiple viewpoints and scans.
Three-dimensional scanning technologies are used to reconstruct physical objects into 3D digital data. Current scanning techniques are highly complex and typically involve taking multiple scans while rotating the target, or utilizing multiple viewpoints to reconstruct the object digitally.
This technology enables three-dimensional scanning and digital reconstruction of physical objects from a single-viewpoint scan. The system comprises a computer, time-of-flight scanner, optional mirror, and a light trap. Following a single scan in the light trap, objects are algorithmically reconstructed from point and time of flight measurements. Nearly 100% object coverage can be achieved with the use of an appropriate light trap. This technology has broad applications ranging from virtual and augmented reality systems to product quality control and inspection.
