Conversely, a high-speed multi-aperture array projector (MAAP) projecting aperiodic fringes is not dependent on a digital mirror device and cannot be pinhole modeled. With MAAP projection, a stereo camera setup is required. This paper presents a model-less method to calibrate a MAAP by direct measurement of its illumination field and re-enables 3D measurements with a single camera even with surface discontinuities present. Experimental proof of principle and preliminary measurement performance are shown.en620535journal article
