In this paper we present a novel sensor system for three-dimensional face scanning applications. Its operating
principle is based on active triangulation with a color coded light approach. As it is implemented in the near
infrared band, the used light is invisible for human perception. Though the proposed sensor is primarily designed
for face scanning and biometric applications, its performance characteristics are beneficial for technical applications
as well. The acquisition of 3d data is real-time capable, provides accurate and high resolution depthmaps
and shows high robustness against ambient light. Hence most of the limiting factors of other sensors for 3d and
face scanning applications are eliminated, such as blinding and annoying light patterns, motion constraints and
highly restricted scenarios due to ambient light constraints.
