Abstract

A 3-D measurement system utilizing a holographic scanner is provided with beam direction compensation means for compensating for changes in angular deflection of the scanner and further means is provided for synchronizing the scanner diffraction segments with the camera imaging mechanism of the 3-D system as well as for providing multiple offsets of the projected beam.
