Fast and accurate 3D video acquisition


A close up on sequence of 3D frames depicting a talking person at 24 frames per second.

Accurate geometry acquisition of moving objects is required in a wide variety of applications ranging from marker-less motion capture to three-dimensional face recognition. Despite the availability of numerous acquisition and reconstruction methods, achieving high spatial resolution at video rates with a low cost system is still a challenging problem.

We developed a cost-efficient structured light acquisition system capable of capturing 3D video with at above 30 frames per second sub-millimeter reconstruction accuracy.
