There is disclosed a method for measuring the shape of objects which might have surface discontinuities using projected fringes, in which method the pitch of the fringes is varied over time and a sequence of phase-stepped images is recorded from which a three-dimensional complex intensity is calculated and either the phase of the distribution is unwrapped along the time axis or the Fourier transform of the distribution is calculated along the time axis.
