Abstract
A method is presented for determining the surface orientations of
an object by projecting a stripe pattern on to it. Assuming
orthographical projection as a camera model and parallel light
projection of the stripe pattern, the method obtains a 2 1/2-D
representation of objects by estimating surface normals from the slopes
and intervals of the stripes in the image. The 2 1/2-D image is further
divided into planar or singly curved surfaces by examining the
distribution of the surface normals in gradient space. A simple
application to finding a planar surface and determining its orientation
and shape is shown. The error in surface orientation is discussed
