Structured light projection systems have become a referent in three-dimensional optical metrology. Calibration of the cameras and projectors of these systems is one of the most critical procedures to achieve high-accuracy measurements. However, the calibration process requires some clarifications for adequate experimental implementation. For instance, it is typically assumed that the calibration of a camera–projector pair differs from calibrating a camera, and the calibration of a projector is possible only with an attached auxiliary camera. This paper presents a unified methodology for camera, projector, and camera–projector calibrations. Experimental results are discussed, providing practical insights into how structured light systems are calibrated. The MATLAB code and data employed in this study are available.
