Abstract
In this chapter we discuss various imaging techniques that can retrieve the depth coordinate which is lost by the projection of the object onto an image plane. These techniques fall into two categories. They can either retrieve only the depth of a surface in 3-D space or allow for a full reconstruction of volumetric objects. Often depth imaging and volumetric imaging are both called 3-D imaging. This causes a lot of confusion.
