Applications
- The Kinect-Camera from Microsoft is the first consumer-grade application. It uses a pattern of projected infrared-Points to generate a dense 3D-Image.
- Made to measure fashion retailing
- Precision shape measurement for production control (e.g. turbine blades)
- Reverse engineering (obtaining precision CAD data from existing objects)
- Volume measurement (e.g. combustion chamber volume in motors)
- Classification of grinding materials and tools
- Precision structure measurement of grinded surfaces
- Radius determination of cutting tool blades
- Precision measurement of planarity
- Documenting objects of cultural heritage
- Skin surface measurement for cosmetics and medicine
- Body shape measurement
- Forensic science inspections
- Road pavement structure and roughness
- Wrinkle measurement on cloth and leather
- Measurement of topography of solar cells (see reference W J Walecki, et al. 2008)
