DLP

At the core of a Digital Light Processing (DLP) system is a chip carrying more than eight million micro-mirrors. Individually controlled, the micro-mirrors are tilted either towards a light source (ON) or away from it (OFF). This generates a bright or dark pixel on the viewed object. A a result, a light pattern can be projected onto a scene which is likewise captured by a camera. A 3D pixel cloud can be calculated from the distortion of the pattern caused by the object.
