Abstract

A method serves for the determination of the 3D coordinates of an object (2). A fringe pattern is projected onto the object (2) in the method. The light reflected by the object (2) is recorded and evaluated. To improve such a method, the fringe pattern is projected onto the object (2) by an imaging element (only FIGURE).
