Abstract
A system for capturing 3D image data of a scene, including three light sources, each configured to emit light at a different wavelength to the other two sources and to illuminate the scene to be captured; a first video camera configured to receive light from the light sources which has been reflected from the scene, to isolate light received from each of the light sources, and to output data relating to the image captured for each of the three light sources; a depth sensor configured to capture depth map data of the scene; and an analysis unit configured to receive data from the first video camera and process the data to obtain data relating to a normal field obtained from the images captured for each of the three light sources, and to combine the normal field data with the depth map data to capture 3D image data of the scene.
