Reconstruction of geometrical and reflectance properties of surfaces by using structured lighting

It is not possible to perform a robust and dense surface reconstruction for plain colored surfaces which have insufficient surface features, and for surfaces which have specularity effect because of the material nature by using traditional stereo imaging methods. The proposed surface scanner system in this work makes it possible to get a robust and dense surface reconstruction even for plain colored and/or semi glossy surfaces. Reflection properties of the surface material are also reconstructed to some extent by using the information gathered after scanning process. Moreover, the experimental results are shown.
