A method and system capturing three-dimensional information of a scene on a structure includes operating a light pattern projector to project a known light pattern onto the scene; using at least two cameras, taking images of the scene, the images being two-dimensional images taken chronologically synchronous; using first and second images, and the known position and orientation of the cameras with respect to each other, extracting a first depth map of the scene; using the first image, the known light pattern, and the known position and orientation of the first camera and the light pattern projector with respect to each other, extracting a second depth map of the scene; and using the extracted first depth map and the extracted second depth map of the scene together to make a 3D measurement of the scene.
