Structured Light for Robust Correspondence in Active Stereo Vision
In 2002, Li Zhang, Brian Curless, and Steven M. Seitz at the University of Washington presented a method using structured light patterns projected onto scenes to establish robust stereo correspondences, enabling reliable 3D reconstruction under conditions where passive stereo fails.
