Assignee: FARO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
Field: Measurement (Instruments)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. A system comprising:
a three-dimensional (3D) measuring device having a display;
an artificial intelligence (AI) system that determines an accuracy of registrations of landmarks and scan points captured by the 3D measuring device; and
at least one processor coupled to the 3D measuring device and the AI system, the at least one processor executing the following program instructions, including:
when in a training phase, receiving training data that comprises a plurality of scans of an environment captured by the 3D measuring device, wherein each scan is captured from a different location within the environment, and wherein a first scan of the plurality of scans is registered with at least a second scan based on at least one common landmark, captured in the first scan and the second scan;
receiving an indication of an inaccurately registered landmark in at least one of the first scan and the second scan, the indication including a change in a position of the 3D measuring device to improve accuracy;
creating, based at least in part on the indication, a model to identify incorrect future registrations by analyzing the training data;
when in an operating mode, evaluating a registration of landmarks in live data received from the 3D measuring device during a scan of a second environment by using the AI system, and the model; and
presenting, on the display, a result of the evaluating of the registration of landmarks during the scan of the second environment, the result identifying an accuracy level of the registration of landmarks and a change in a position of the 3D measuring device to improve accuracy.
