Dynamic Triangulation
The triangulation setup is shown in figure below. The stripe of laser light is projected onto the scene. A sensor, usually a CCD camera, views the scene. The depth to the point on the object is found as:

In dynamic triangulation the laser is swept across the scene using a scanning mirror or other techniques. The angle alpha is then determined by measuring elapsed time from some reference point. The range is now determined using:

To compute range maps it is necessary to determine the time t when the image of the laser passes a location Xo in each row of a sensor.
