Abstract

A method for 3D surface imaging of an object, comprising generating a sinusoidal pattern from an input beam; projecting the sinusoidal pattern onto the object; acquiring deformed structured images from the object; reconstructing and displaying the surface of the object in real-time. A system comprises an device encoding an input beam with a structured pattern; a filter configured to spatially filter the encoded beam; a projector lens projecting the structured pattern onto the object; a high speed camera acquiring a structured pattern deformed by the 3D surface of the object; a graphic processing unit; and a CoaXPress interface transferring data acquired by the camera to the graphic processing unit; the graphic processing unit reconstructing and displaying the 3D surface of the object in real-time.
