1. A method for resolving ambiguity of a periodic pattern projected upon a surface to be measured in two or three dimensions comprising the steps of:

  • projecting a periodic radiation pattern on a surface and obtaining a first reflected pattern;

    recording an image of said first reflected pattern;

    projecting one period of said periodic radiation pattern upon said surface and obtaining a second reflected pattern;

    recording an image of said second reflected pattern;

    identifying said one period image as a reference image; and

    identifying each period image sequentially in the periodic image relative to the reference image.
