The Japanese have developed a new method for three-dimensional scanning of objects.

At the same time, there are no hardware innovations. There are no additional cameras, all sorts of sensors and auxiliary elements. All that is required to obtain a three-dimensional “picture” is a projector, a regular media projector, and a conventional camera, only, of course, quality. Receiving a three-dimensional image takes a few seconds.

The secret of this method is simple - the grid is projected onto the scanned object, and the camera, in turn, removes everything that happens in front of the lens. The resulting image is immediately transferred to a PC with a special software package. The software analyzes the image, and makes a 3D image almost in real time. The end result is a bit similar to what Kinect gets. But here everything is a little easier.

The Japanese believe that their development may well be an analogue of Kinect. In addition, the developers believe that their system can be used in science. So, when reading small details of various examples, the accuracy of creating a 3D model is 1-2 millimeters. Not such a small tolerance, but the result is quite sane. Perhaps, after “reaching out” of the technology, the picture will be almost perfect.

It is not yet known exactly when the Japanese are going to present the commercial version of their project. But there is no doubt that this will happen.
