Three-dimensional object reconstruction based on spin-orbit interaction of light

Three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction has received extensive attention in recent years and is of great significance to various application fields. We propose a simple method of 3D object reconstruction based on spin-orbit interactions occurring from light reflection at the air-glass interface. By rotating the object, edge images of the object in various orientations are obtained; we overlap these edge images to ultimately reconstruct the 3D object. This 3D image detection based on spin-orbit interaction of light provides a low energy consumption, low cost, and more algorithmic method compared to traditional 3D image processing. This can be used in fields such as medicine, autonomous vehicles, planetary observation, and other areas.
