Abstract

Techniques for scanning through structured light techniques that are robust to global illumination effects and that provide an accurate determination of position as provided. According to some aspects, described techniques may be computationally efficient compared with conventional techniques by making use of a novel approach of selecting frequencies of patterns for projection onto a target that mathematically enable efficient calculations. In particular, the selected frequencies may be chosen so that there is a known relationship between the frequencies. This relationship may be derived from Chebyshev polynomials and also relates the chosen frequencies to a low frequency pattern.
