Abstract
The Michelangelo dynamic 3D scanner uses stereo rangefinding along with strobe illumination to capture 3D information at 25 frames per second. The configuration allows rapid motion within the capture volume to be frozen into a series of virtual sculptures. Textured strobe illumination is used for range data and plain strobe illumination for colour data. We present examples of data captured with the system along with measurements of the tolerances attained in the measurements.
