Abstract
Method and arrangements for forming image data for use in 3D imaging of an object (). The image data being from an imaging system () based on light triangulation and that provides one or more illuminations () in one or more light planes that geometrically correspond to the same plane or parallel planes. The imaging system () and camera(s) () thereof are configured to image object points of the object () at least twice, according to a first imaging and second imaging, during illumination of the object points by said illumination(s). The first imaging and second imaging differing in how specular reflections caused by said illumination(s) are being imaged. First and second image data from the first and second imaging are obtained, corresponding first and second profile images () with common mapping to real world coordinates for intensity peaks () caused by direct reflections from the object (). Image data for use in the 3D imaging is formed () based on the obtained image data and excludes intensity peak data that for a respective object point imaged twice have intensity peak characteristics that differ between the first and second image data.
