How it works: 3D scan of a mixed reflectance scene

Caption

Schematic depiction of a 3D scan of a mixed reflectance scene with the new sensor technology. The laser lines scan the scene. After computational separation of matte and specular scene parts, the 3D shape of the matte parts is evaluated directly, and the specular parts are evaluated via the reflection signal from the matte parts, effectively turning them into a large virtual screen for the specular measurement.
