Calibration of the optical 3D sensor "Flying Triangulation"

The optical 3D measurement principle “Flying Triangulation” enables an acquisition of 3D surface data of complex objects. To get metric 3D data with best possible accuracy, a calibration of the sensor is needed. The current calibration of our sensor is difficult, time-consuming and requires high user interaction which does not mirror the spirit of our measurement principle. We present an easy, fast, and accurate novel method for calibration.
