A three-dimensional (3D) imaging system includes a mobile device that has a display screen configured to display a series of patterns onto an object that is to be imaged. The mobile device also includes a front-facing camera configured to capture reflections of the series of patterns off of the object. The system also includes a controller that is configured to control a timing of the series of patterns that appear on the display screen and activation of the front-facing camera in relation to the appearance of the series of patterns.

Method and system for three-dimensional surface measurement with a mobile device

A system configured to generate images includes one or more narrowband electromagnetic sources configured to emit a first radiation and a second radiation. The system also includes a detector configured to detect first reflected radiation off of an object and second reflected radiation off of the object, where the first reflected radiation results from the first radiation and the second reflected radiation results from the second radiation. The system further includes a processor operatively coupled to the detector and configured to generate an image of the object based at least in part on a first amplitude of the first reflected radiation and a second amplitude of the second reflected radiation. The processor is also configured to determine a depth profile of the object based at least in part on the first reflected radiation and the second reflected radiation detected by the detector.
