Claim 0:
1. A system for generating a three-dimensional reconstruction of an object with reduced distortion, comprising:
at least three image sensors, each image sensor configured to capture one or more images of an object from a different perspective;
a projector configured to illuminate the object with a moving optical pattern translating along a circular path, wherein the projector is not synchronized with operation of the at least three image sensors; and
a processor configured to perform acts of:
receiving, from each of the at least three image sensors, a plurality of images of the object illuminated with the moving optical pattern from the projector; and
generating, from the received plurality of images, a three-dimensional reconstruction of the object, wherein the three-dimensional reconstruction has reduced distortion due to the received plurality of images of the object illuminated with the moving optical pattern being generated by each of the at least three image sensors from the different perspective.
