This thesis presents a method for 3D range acquisition using color structured lighting and stereo vision. Since a pair of stereo images are used, cameras are the only device needed to be calibrated in this system. In this work, light stripes are pro- jected onto the objects, and then edge segments are extracted from the images and used in stereo correspondence. A systematic procedure is proposed for generating good color structured pat- terns. Using different parameters, different color patterns can be generated by this procedure. We then select a good one to project on the objects. To obtain correct matching, a global search method based on the intra-scanline dynamic programming is adopted.A winner-take-all scheme using edge-based inter-scanline matching consistency is then proposed to refine the results obtained by intra-scanline search. Experimental results have shown that the proposed method can be successfully used for range data acquisition.
