1. A method of providing three-dimensional imagery of a surface, comprising:

  • receiving a first two-dimensional image of the surface, said first two-dimensional image being from a first two-dimensional imager;

    receiving a second two-dimensional image of the surface, said second two-dimensional image being from a second two-dimensional imager;

    receiving reflective light data related to the surface, said reflective light data being generated by a sensor receiving reflected light being sent from a light source;

    generating, using one or more processors, a three-dimensional stereo-correspondence depth map based on the first two-dimensional image and the second two dimensional image;

    generating, using one or more processors, a three-dimensional structured-light depth map of the surface based on the light data received from the sensor, said light being a reflection of projected light off the surface; and

    generating, using one or more processors, a three-dimensional model of the surface based on the three-dimensional stereo-correspondence depth map and the three-dimensional structured-light depth map.
