The acquisition of three-dimensional models of a given surface is a very interesting subject in computer vision. Most of techniques are based on the use of laser range finders coupled to a mechanical system that scans the surface. These techniques lacks of accuracy in the presence of vibrations or non-controlled surface motion because of the misalignments between the acquired images. In this paper, we propose a new one-shot pattern which benefits from the use of regis- tration techniques to recover a whole surface in the presence of non-controlled motion. 1 Introduction Three-dimensional reconstruction of real objects is a promising subject with many ap- plications, such as reverse engineering, robot navigation, mould fabrication and vi- sual inspection among others. Most range finders are based on the projection of laser beams because of its robustness against ambient light, easy image processing algorithms and high given accuracy including optical segmentation and subpixel accuracy. Please, check a quite recent survey related to laser projection [3] and other reconstruction tech- niques such as coded structured light [9]. In general, laser projection techniques are based on the use of a laser emitter coupled to a cylindrical lens that spread the light forming a plane that is projected to the measured surface. The projection of a laser plane only lets us
