Subject: Range sensors

I am considering acquiring a range sensor for our lab here at Purdue.
I am interested in any technical contacts at companies producing such
devices.  The requirements (which are somewhat flexible at this stage)
are:
	1.) At least 128x128 resolution (preferably 512x512)

	2.) 1m working distance, with at least .5 meter range, and
 	    1-5mm depth resolution (preferable < 1mm). Preferably
	    scalable. i.e. if we are working at .25 meter, the
	    accuracy should increase proportionately.

	3.) 5 frames per second (preferable > 10 fps).  Data rate
	    should apply to recovery of a calibrated dense scan.

I would especially appreciate technical contacts at companies, as
sales contacts do not normally have the background to competently
discuss the technical merits of the products.  I would appreciate a
quick response, as at least a preliminary choice to be included in a
proposal needs to be made soon.

Thanks in advance,

 -- Prof. David Chelberg (dmc@piccolo.ecn.purdue.edu)
