Abstract:
1. Arrangement for imaging surface structures of three-dimensional objects, having a device for optically recording the surface of at least one partial region of the three-dimensional object from different positions, a digitalization unit that serves to store the optical data about the two-dimensional surface structure of the at least one partial region of the object in memory, and having an image processing unit in which a three-dimensional overall image is produced from two-dimensional image sections, wherein the arrangement has a selection circuit ( 9 ) for selecting a first image section ( 10 ), the optical data of which result from a first observation direction and are digitally recorded, and a subsequent image module ( 11 ), in which optical data of at least one further image section ( 12 ), proceeding from a changed observation direction, are digitally recorded, and that a matching unit ( 16 ) is provided, in which matching of the digital patterns ( 13 , 14 ) contained in the first ( 10 ) and the at least one other image section ( 12 ) takes place, with regard to characteristic digital patterns that essentially agree with one another, and in which matching data are generated, as a function of the agreement of the digital patterns ( 13 , 14 ), which data are available to the image processing unit ( 19 ) for determining the spatially related parameters and for aggregating the image sections ( 10 , 12 ) of the object to produce an overall image, wherein the object consists of at least two partial objects (
