A method and apparatus for rapid three dimensional geom etry parametrization of a three dimensional surface. A ran dom speckle pattern is projected upon the surface and imaged to obtain a plurality of tWo dimensional digital images. The tWo dimensional images are processed to obtain a three dimensional characterization of the surface. The illuminated surface may be modeled to obtain a parameter set characterizing the surface based upon the tWo dimen sional digital images.
