Patent Images
1. An apparatus capable of three dimensional (3D) imaging from one vantage point independent of profilometry comprising:
- a housing having a physical terminus;
an image sensing array (ISA); and
an optical element in optical communication with the ISA,wherein all light received by the apparatus for 3D imaging and any light emitted by the apparatus for 3D imaging passes through a physical terminus of the apparatus at which point a maximum separation between any two light rays used for 3D imaging does not exceed 2 inches.

Abstract
Embodiments of the invention may include a scanning device to scan three dimensional objects. The scanning device may generate a three dimensional model. The scanning device may also generate a texture map for the three dimensional model. Techniques utilized to generate the model or texture map may include tracking scanner position, generating depth maps of the object and generation composite image of the surface of the object.
