The fast, contact-free and highly precise shape measurement of technical objects is of key importance in the scientific-technological area as well as the area of practical measurement technology. The application areas of contact-free surface measurement extend across widely different areas, e.g., the automation of production processes, the measurement and inspection of components in microsystem technology or the fast 3D in-vivo measurement of human skin surfaces in cosmetics and medical technology. This paper describes methodological and technological possibilities as well as measurement technology applications for fast optical 3D shape measurements using micromirror-based high-velocity stripe projection. Depending on the available projector and camera facilities, it will be possible to shoot and evaluate complete 3D surface profiles within only a few milliseconds.
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.
