For surface reconstruction using motion, objects are placed on a rotating disc 
in front of a single camera. For camera calibration the method by [Tsai 1986] 
was implemented, extended (calculation of distorted from undisturbed 
coordinates) and optimized (e.g. with respect to the number of calibration 
planes and points in each plane). It is described how the calibration results 
can be used for this special case of surface reconstruction of objects on a 
rotating disc. Motion vectors calculated from point correspondences are used as 
input for this calculation of 3-D point positions. In two theorems, new 
reconstruction formulas are given. Experimentally, accurate depth values could 
be obtained for sparse object surface points. It is suggested to combine these 
exact values with "surface drafts" calculated by approaches based on reflectance 
properties.
