Abstract
A method and apparatus for a structured light measuring device, having a preferable VCSEL array in its previous illuminated cross plane, using the laser array to be projected through said device's objective and collect the reflected beams through the same objective lens. A motorized stage is attached to the objective focusing, enabling back and forth focusing on different external planes. A software algorithm running on a computer device will analyze the reflected laser beam and find its central point and further translate it to angular deviations, similar to Autocollimation principles. Furthermore, this could be displayed as a cross on the user GUI for better user interface. The focusing function has the capability to focus the laser array at various planes, and analyze if the reflected beam is at its best focal point or deviates. By moving the focal point back and forth, a 3-D reconstruction can be achieved, preferable for lenses and calculating the center location relative to the device's line of sight.
