Abstract
A structured-light scanning system includes a plurality of switchable projectors that respectively generate emitted lights with a predetermined pattern, each switchable projector being capable of switchably generating either a two-dimensional (2D) emitted light or a three-dimensional (3D) emitted light; an optical alignment device that aligns the emitted lights to generate an aligned light, which is projected onto and reflected from a surface of an object, resulting in a reflected light; and an image sensor that detects the reflected light.
