3D Scanning Webcam

An interesting technique for scanning 3d objects has been created by [Jan].  The software is set with the preset background object and a laser line is run over it.  It seems that the software measures the form by the gaps in the lines as it passes over the form.  One measurements are taken the object is then created in the software.


[Jan] purports to have won the “work group for Patteron recognition” main prize in Berlin this year.  Better news worth telling is if it could work under anything besides Windows and .NET.
