Distance information can be determined by measuring the contrast in the projected grating pattern. The magnification of the object image captured by a CCD camera is adjusted constant by changing the focus distance. A shadow less measurement of the object's area is archived by using a uni-axial system. The liquid crystal digital shifter is a powerful tool to make arbitrary intensity and frequency distribution. Surface profiles of some mechanical parts were measured to demonstrate this method. KW - DO - 10.3970/icces.2011.019.107
