Small Range Image Sensor Based on Image Blur Using Multi-Slit Laser and Small Camera

Abstract

This paper presents a novel range image sensor system that uses multi slit laser and small camera. In case of the active stereo method, since the captured image is blurred, it is impossible to determine an accurate position of the slit. On the other hand, the proposed method is able to perform short distance measurement using the magnitude of the blur of the laser light.
