Abstract
Vision systems and methods for acquiring an image of an image scene and/or measuring a three-dimensional location of an object are disclosed. The vision systems can include a single image sensor, a first optical path, and a second optical path. The first optical path can be selectively transmissive of a first light, the second optical path can be selectively transmissive of a second light, and the first and second light can have a different distinguishing characteristic.
