Freehand Laser Scanning Using Mobile Phone

3D scanners are growing in their popularity as many new applications and products are becoming a commodity. These applications are often tethered to a computer and/or require expensive and specialized hardware. In this note we demonstrate that it is possible to achieve good 3D reconstruction on a mobile device. We describe a novel approach for mobile phone scanning which utilizes a smart-phone and a cheap laser pointer with a cylindrical lens which produces a line pattern attached to the phone using a 3D printed adapter as demonstrated in Figure 1. Our 3D reconstruction
