ABSTRACT:
A method for detecting data of an uneven surface of an object includes the following steps: illuminating at least one of stripes and a grid on the uneven surface using at least one light source; detecting, without a touching contact, light reflected from the uneven surface at a plurality of discrete locations so as to create a partial image of the uneven surface at each of the plurality of discrete locations; selectively analyzing each of the partial images; and combining at least portions of the partial images into an overall image of the uneven surface.
