An optical grating device (34) is arranged in the projection light path and modifies the projection light distribution to project a structured light pattern (46).

A viewer (50) includes viewing optics with a viewing light path that is non-parallel to the projection light path, a light sensing array (58) for sensing images of diffuse reflections of the structured light patterns from said surface, and a camera (57) for recording the images. The optical gage further includes a computer (61) which comprises data input communication with the camera and a processor for modeling the surface being profiled based on surface contour information provided by the images.
