Digitizer using plural capture methods to image features of 3-D objects
DCFirst Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- capturing a first two-dimensional image of an object;
causing a relative motion between the object and a field of view of a capturing device to expose a different aspect of the object to the capturing device;
capturing a second two-dimensional image of the object;
deriving a first three-dimensional digital representation of the object from the first and second two-dimensional images; and
creating a second three-dimensional digital representation by an alternative method.

Abstract
A method and apparatus to digitize three-dimensional objects. A projection assembly is retained in fixed relation to an imaging assembly. The projection assembly projects a fixed gradient light pattern into a focal zone of the imaging assembly. The imaging assembly integrates the illumination over time such that the fixed gradient reveals the features of the three dimensional object.

3. A method comprising:
-
capturing a first three-dimensional digital representation of a portion of an object using a first capture method; capturing a second three-dimensional digital representation of a portion of the object using a second capture method; and automatically combining elements from the first and second three-dimensional digital representations to improve quality. - View Dependent Claims (4, 5, 6)
