A note on the structured light of three-dimensional imaging systems

Abstract Griffin et al. (1992) introduced a new structured light pattern which can acquire the range data of an object with the use of single camera for three-dimensional imaging systems. This note points out that the sequences used to construct the structured light pattern are indeed special cases of de Bruijn sequences. Additionally, this note also proposes a new simple approach to generate various de Bruijn sequences. As shown, this new approach has several advantages over other typical approaches.
