First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for mapping, comprising:
- projecting onto an object a pattern of multiple spots having respective positions and shapes, such that the positions of the spots in the pattern are uncorrelated, while the shapes share a common characteristic;
capturing an image of the spots on the object; and
processing the image so as to derive a three-dimensional (3D) map of the object.

Abstract
A method for mapping includes projecting onto an object a pattern of multiple spots having respective positions and shapes, such that the positions of the spots in the pattern are uncorrelated, while the shapes share a common characteristic. An image of the spots on the object is captured and processed so as to derive a three-dimensional (3D) map of the object.

26. Apparatus for mapping, comprising:
-
an illumination assembly, which is configured to project onto an object a pattern of multiple spots having respective positions and shapes, such that the positions of the spots in the pattern are uncorrelated, while the shapes share a common characteristic; an imaging assembly, which is configured to capture an image of the spots on the object; and an image processor, which is coupled to process the image so as to derive a three-dimensional (3D) map of the object. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37)
