It is a good reminder that today we are not more clever with time. We come here only with more tools, easier tools and more time to think... Also a reminder that the 3D scanning is still unchanged after 1 century. Odd... - But why ? 1) Because it was the good solution ? Maybe.... 2) Because no one has had the new-thing that will level up the way we do 3D scanning ? I hope so

I think it’s also important to note that these said tools are more readily available to whoever wants to use them. Hard to say because there’s not much information about François Willème but I’m guessing he’s relatively wealthy to be able to pull something off like this.

  I assumed the OP was talking more about the math, which is also not true. The method mentioned in the article only takes into account the silhouette of the target. In my experience, that's where a lot of the information comes from, but to get that fine detail most contemporary methods incorporate a lot of information about the target itself like keypoints and lighting interactions.

  Our newest product is a very advanced 3D Scanner[1]. Photogrammetry, structured light scanning, phase shift laser radar, and now non-contact via an interferometry. 3D Scanning is alive and well with various methods. [1]https://apimetrology.com/ladar/ https://apimetrology.com/ladar/
