Abstract
Reconstructing a 3D surface in ℝ3 from a 2D image in ℝ2 has been a widely studied issue as well as one of the most important problems in image processing. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to reconstructing 3D coordinates of a surface from a 2D image taken by a camera using projected circular light patterns. Known information (i.e. intrinsic and extrinsic parameters of the camera, the structure of the circular patterns, a fixed optical center of the camera and the location of the reference plane of the surface) provides a mathematical model for surface reconstruction. The reconstruction is based on a geometrical relationship between a given pattern projected onto a 3D surface and a pattern captured in a 2D image plane from a viewpoint. This paper chiefly deals with a mathematical proof of concept for the reconstruction problem.
