Claim:
1. A structured light 3D triangulation system, comprising: a spatially coded structured light generator comprising an array of monolithically integrated surface emitting laser diodes, wherein, the individual laser diodes in the array are arranged on a wafer level to generate a spatially coded structured light field that is formed in a scene by the projection of the emission of the array of laser diodes onto a 3D object in said scene and reflection of the emission from said 3D object to form a spatially coded structured light pattern of said scene; and a camera arranged for capturing an image of the spatially coded structured light pattern, and wherein a 3D map of said scene is constructed using structured light triangulation based on the captured image of the spatially coded structured light pattern.
