Claim One:
1. A triangulation-based 3D processing method for generating transformed height and gray scale values, the method comprising the steps of: generating a first pair of data values represented by height data and intensity data obtained from a first direction with respect to an object; generating a second pair of data values represented by height data and intensity data obtained from a second direction with respect to the object; controllably selecting at least one control algorithm adapted to process the height and intensity data; processing the intensity data from the first and second directions to obtain transformed intensity data; processing the height data from the first and second directions and the intensity data from the first and second directions with the at least one control algorithm to obtain transformed height data; and transmitting the transformed height and intensity data which are adapted to be processed by an image processing computer, the transformed height data representing at least one transformed height value and the transformed intensity data representing at least one transformed gray scale value.
