3D shape acquisition of moving object based on structured light

Belonging to the dynamic and real-time metrology, the key on 3D shape measurement of moving object is one-shot technology including one image acquisition, real-time processing and displaying. According to different speeds of motion, a few structured light methods such as spatial encoding, FTP, phase shifting method and spacetime stereo are introduced and summarized in the form of principle, development, performance and application for shape acquisition of moving object in this paper. Although structured light for measuring 3D shape of moving object is significant and valuable in theory and engineering applications, the research still has some technological challenges and problems to be explored and solved.
