Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide techniques and configurations for an optoelectronic three-dimensional object acquisition assembly configured to correct image distortions. In one instance, the assembly may comprise a first device configured to project a light pattern on an object at a determined angle; a second device configured to capture a first image of the object illuminated with the projected light pattern; a third device configured to capture a second image of the object; and a controller coupled to the first, second, and third devices and configured to reconstruct an image of the object from geometric parameters of the object obtained from the first image, and to correct distortions in the reconstructed image caused by a variation of the determined angle of the light pattern projection, based at least in part on the first and second images of the object. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
