Abstract

A system for three-dimensional imaging includes a structured light illuminator, an imaging sensor, and a time-of-flight controller in data communication with the structured light illuminator and the imaging sensor. The structured light illuminator provides an output light in a structured light pattern and the imaging sensor receives a reflected portion of the output light. The time-of-flight controller coordinates the structured light illuminator and imaging sensor and calculates a time-of-flight of the output light and the reflected portion.
