Hi everyone, this is a 2D image obtained by projecting a black and white fringe light. Is it possible with some paraview function to estimate the 3d shape of the object from this information? thanks in advance!

Welcome to the ParaView community, @Silvan!

Unfortunately, ParaView does not have methods for 3D reconstruction from 2D images like this.

Thanks for your reply Cory!

Do you know any software that can do this?

Anyway, can Paraview provide information about the curvature of the lines in the image? For example from less curvature to greater curvature by associating this information with different colors? Thank you

In terms of applications, you may have better luck with [3D Slicer](https://www.slicer.org/). If you have programming skills, you might look at [itk.org](https://itk.org/) which has some curvature-related operations available.
