3D body scanning with "Flying Triangulation"

During the measurement, neither the sensor nor the object have to stand still. The handheld sensor, based on light sectioning with multiple-line patterns, can be freely moved around the object (see Fig. 1) while a series of sparse 3D views is generated. Sophisticated algorithms align these views to each other and display the current measurement progress in real time without requiring any external tracking devices or markers on the object.
