The invention relates to a method and a system for measuring an object (2) by means of stereoscopy, in which method a pattern (3) is projected onto the object surface by means of a projector (9) and the pattern (3), which is designated as a scene and is projected onto the object surface, is captured by at least two cameras (4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4), wherein correspondences of the scene are found in the images captured by the cameras (4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4) by means of a computing unit (5) using image processing, and the object (2) is measured by means of the correspondences found. According to the invention, the cameras (4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4) are intrinsically and extrinsically calibrated, and a two-dimensional and temporal coding is generated during the pattern projection, by (a) projecting a (completely) two-dimensionally coded pattern (3) and capturing the scene using the cameras (4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4), and (b) projecting a temporally encoded pattern having a two-dimensionally different coding several times in succession and using the cameras (4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4) to capture several scenes in succession, the capturing of said scenes being triggered simultaneously in each case.
