Abstract:
1. A method for optically scanning an object, wherein the method comprises the following steps: optically scanning a scanning region of the object by means of a detection device by displacing the detection device and the object relatively to one another into successive scanning positions which are spaced apart by a constant scanning step size along a scanning direction in an object plane; generating a plurality of scanned images by imaging a partial scanning region from the object plane onto a detection surface in an image plane by means of an optical imaging device in the scanning positions, wherein the partial scanning region has an extent in the scanning direction in the object plane which is larger than the scanning step size; breaking down the plurality of scanned images into scanned part images in each case by means of image processing; generating combined result images by combining a plurality of scanned part images in each case; and selecting at least one object measurement image from the combined result images in accordance with one or a plurality of predetermined selection criteria.
