Abstract

A moving object to be subject to 3-dimensional rendering is illuminated by a repeated sequence of a number N different two-dimensional structured light patterns. For each illumination, the illuminated object is captured by two spaced apart cameras, thereby creating a series of pairs of two-dimensional images. A set of N adjacent pairs of the two-dimensional images is used to form a single three-dimensional image frame. A moving window of N adjacent pairs of the two-dimensional images provides a train of such three-dimensional image frames. The object may furthered be illuminated by non-structured light whose captured image reflection may be used as an overlay over the three-dimensional rendered object.
