Fast 3D reconstruction with single shot technology : engineering and computing challenges

Fast 3D reconstruction with single shot technology: the GMPR 3D scanning technologies provide fast wide area scanning from an instantaneous shot. A surface can be reconstructed in 40 milliseconds from a pattern of stripes projected on the target object. It operates on a single image or on a video sequence both in the near-infrared (NIR) and visible spectra. In this talk we are going to describe the engineering and computing principles behind the technologies, highlight the main achievements of our research to date and discuss a number of remaining challenges
