In this paper we present the development of a laboratory prototype to obtain the digitahzation and three-dimensional reconstruction of a solid object applying the laser line projection technique. The object under test is placed on a motorized rotary stage, a diode laser system projects a line on the object, the deformed line pattern is acquired by a CCD camera. The information for its reconstruction is extracted of the bi-dimensional images of the deformation that the laser line suffers according to the three-dimensional topography of the object. The present prototype digitizes an object in approximately 20 seconds without affecting it the ambient illumination.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
