A structured-light-based
exposure control method and an
exposure control apparatus are provided. The
exposure control method includes projecting a plurality of structured lights with a plurality of scanning patterns by a
projector with a first
projector brightness on an object to scan the object, capturing a plurality of first images of the object corresponding to the scanning patterns, calculating a first
stereo image according to the first images, projecting the structured lights with the scanning patterns by the
projector with a second projector brightness on the object to scan the object, capturing a plurality of second images of the object corresponding to the scanning patterns, wherein the second projector brightness is less than the first projector brightness, calculating a second
stereo image according to the second images, and stitching the first
stereo image and the second stereo image to obtain a first complete stereo image.
