Reading between the lines-a method for extracting dynamic 3D with texture

Abstract
A method is presented that extracts the 3D shape of objects, together with the surface texture. Both shape and texture are obtained from a single image. The underlying principle is based on an active technique. A high resolution, pattern is projected onto the object and the deformations as observed by a single camera yield the 3rd dimension. Furthermore, the surface texture is extracted from the same image. Because the whole procedure is based on a single image, a frame-by-frame reconstruction of a video taken with the pattern projected throughout, yields 3D shape dynamics. The paper sketches the complete system but focuses on the problem of texture extraction.
