The range and reflectance data (see images on the left) have been recorded during one single 3D scan pass. The upper image shows close regions in bright colors whereas distant regions appear in dark colors. The lower image shows the same scene but here bright regions correspond to high reflectance while dark regions correspond to low reflectance within the narrow spectral range of the scanner. As this nearly photographic reflectance image is almost fully independent of lighting conditions, it enables much easier pattern recognition. Distance and directional properties in relation to the scanner detector are known for each individual pixel in the reflectance image. This creates new possibilities for multi-modal object recognition.
