A Survey on 3D Cameras: Metrological Comparison of Time-of-Flight, Structured-Light and Active Stereoscopy Technologies (SpringerBriefs in Computer Science)

"This book is a valuable resource to deeply understand the technology used in 3D cameras. In this book, the authors summarize and compare the specifications of the main 3D cameras available in the mass market. The authors present a deep metrological analysis of the main camera based on the three main technologies: Time-of-Flight, Structured-Light and Active Stereoscopy, and provide qualitative results for any user to understand the underlying technology within 3D camera, as well as practical guidance on how to get the most of them for a given application."-- Provided by publisher Front Matter ....Pages i-ix Introduction (Silvio Giancola, Matteo Valenti, Remo Sala)....Pages 1-3 3D Shape Acquisition (Silvio Giancola, Matteo Valenti, Remo Sala)....Pages 5-28 State-of-the-Art Devices Comparison (Silvio Giancola, Matteo Valenti, Remo Sala)....Pages 29-39 Metrological Qualification of the Kinect V2TM Time-of-Flight Camera (Silvio Giancola, Matteo Valenti, Remo Sala)....Pages 41-60 Metrological Qualification of the Orbbec Astra STM Structured-Light Camera (Silvio Giancola, Matteo Valenti, Remo Sala)....Pages 61-69 Metrological Qualification of the Intel D400TM Active Stereoscopy Cameras (Silvio Giancola, Matteo Valenti, Remo Sala)....Pages 71-85 Conclusion (Silvio Giancola, Matteo Valenti, Remo Sala)....Pages 87-88 Back Matter ....Pages 89-90 Annotation This book is a valuable resource to deeply understand the technology used in 3D cameras.
