Structured Light

Structured light involves projecting a specific pattern, such as grids or dots, onto a scene. When this pattern hits objects, it deforms based on their shape. Specialized cameras then capture how the pattern appears differently on each surface. By analyzing these distortions, the system calculates detailed 3D information about the objects' surfaces, effectively measuring their shape and depth. This technology is widely used in 3D scanning, facial recognition, and robotics for accurate environment mapping and object detection.
