Abstract
In order to determine three-dimensional coordinates of a surface () of an object () to be detected, the changes in color of a color pattern (), which is projected by a projector () onto the surface (), are to be encoded by using a redundant code. An analyzing method, which analyzes the changes in color occurring in an image () recorded by a camera (), is insensitive to changes on the surface (). In addition, the contour of the object () can be determined with a single recording. The method is thereby also suited for moving objects.
