High-speed three dimensional (3-D) shape measurement is becoming an important issue in many application such as robot vision and automatic inspection of manufactured parts.In recent years, many studies have been made on high-speed 3-D shape measurement methods. A slit ray projection method and a coded pattern grid projection method are common approach to high-speed 3-D shape measurement. The slit ray method takes a long image acquisition time because of scanning the slit over measuring object. On the other hand, the coded pattern method can reduce the image acquisition time in comparison to the slit ray method. However, this approach requires identification of coded pattern, and it takes long decoding time. We proposed a new coding method of multi-slit ray for high-speed shape measurement. The proposed method divides measuring area by using multiple sensors without light pattern. In addition to this, we proposed a method of expansion of measuring range in depth by means of secondary slit ray. The main slit ray is used to calculate the distanse to object, and secondary slit ray is used to identify the main slit ray. The projected angle of secondary slit ray is differed from that of the main slit ray. The combined use of main slit ray and secondary slit ray expands the measuring range in depth to three times in comparison with single use of the main slit. The proposed method eliminates repeated scanning of slit ray, and realizes zero decording time compatible with high reliability.
