Abstract

Apparatus () for mapping includes an illumination module (), which includes a radiation source (), which is configured to emit a beam of radiation. A scanner () receives and scans the beam over a selected angular range. Illumination optics () project the scanned beam so as to create a pattern of spots extending over a region of interest. An imaging module () captures an image of the pattern that is projected onto an object () in the region of interest. A processor () processes the age in order to construct a three-dimensional (3D) map of the object.
