In this paper, we show how to reconstruct the shape of a scene, such as the two hands shown on the left, given a single photograph of the scene under color-striped illumination shown at center. A novel dynamic programming method leads to the geometric reconstruction on the right, shown as a shaded rendering from a new viewpoint. Abstract shape from a single image opens up the possibility of scan- ning moving scenes by repeating the process at video rates. This paper presents a color structured light technique for Custom hardware solutions have been developed to solve recovering object shape from one or more images. The tech- the problem of rapid shape capture, but enabling the nique works by projecting a pattern of stripes of alternating construction of rangefinders from more commonly avail- colors and matching the projected color transitions with ob- able components makes them more accessible to other re- served edges in the image. The correspondence problem is searchers. To this end, we focus on optical triangulation solved using a novel, multi-pass dynamic programming al-
