Calibration<\/a> shouldn’t be an issue since the projection lens is a fixed distance and orientation from the camera lens. If the camera has a decent processor, it may even be possible to make it process the data internally and output textured 3D models.<\/p>\n

Hmmm… that said, it would probably be much more practical to just have it run a standard structured light pattern and save a series of images for post-processing on a PC. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Update<\/strong>: More wild speculation. It could capture diffuse and specular textures by coordinating high-speed successive photos: without flash, with flash, and with a structure light patterns.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
