“…It has already been shown4, that the form of the detected optical signal from a point on the surface of an object is I(z) = cos4(NwSinB) (4) Fig.4 shows an example of the type of waveform this yields where the fringe order N = 5.18. It can be seen that the number of peaks and fractions of a peak, as the grating rotates through 90 degrees, is the fringe order N. It is required to determine that value of N so that the range of the target can be found.…”

Major advances in imaging technology have seen the advent of 3-dimensional imaging systems, and the ensuing advantages that they have over 2-dimensional systems in many situations. Both passive and active systems for 3-dimensional image production have been widely used for robot control, and for high accuracy measurements in engineering metrology. This paper will concentrate on a discussion of the development of a new instrument employing dynamic fringe projection techniques, capable of simultaneously measuring the range at each point in the field of view of, say, a CCD camera in real time. The instrument, called the Dynamic Automated Range Transducer, (DART), uses a method of fringe projection based upon the principle of triangulation.The current investigations aimed at automating the ranging process will be described, and an error analysis and theoretical maximum resolution of the system will be included.
