Adaptive Color Calibration Based One-Shot Structured Light System

  • Yu Zhou,
  • Dongwei Zhao,
  • Yao Yu,
  • Jie Yuan and
  • Sidan Du

8 August 2012

In one-shot color structured light systems, the color of stripe patterns are typically distorted with respect to color crosstalk, ambient light and the albedo of the scanned objects, leading to mismatch in the correspondence of color stripes between...
