Abstract
A three-dimensional imaging system includes a first illumination source configured to project a first fan of light toward an object in a field of view, and a second illumination source configured to project a second fan of light substantially parallel to and spaced apart from the first fan of light. The first illumination source and the second illumination source are further configured to scan the first fan of light and the second fan of light synchronously laterally across the field of view. The three-dimensional imaging system further includes a camera configured to capture a plurality of image frames of the field of view as the first fan of light and the second fan of light are scanned over a plurality of regions the object, and a processor coupled to the camera and configured to construct a three-dimensional image of the object based on the plurality of image frames.
