Patent ID: 8261989

Claim:
Method for generation of image information from an object being scanned by means of a scanning device, in which the object being scanned can include one or more surfaces, at least one of one or more bodies and a space, in which the scanning device, or at least parts of the scanning device, or the object itself are moved during the scanning process, and in which the object being scanned is scanned by the scanning device in the region of a scanning layer, wherein at least one of: the beam path that scans the object is oriented at an arbitrary angle to the scanning layer; and the scanning layer is chosen in an arbitrary position relative to the object being scanned; and wherein: a two-dimensional representation is calculated from recorded two-and three-dimensional image information; and in the transition to two-dimensional representation, the recorded three-dimensional image information is combined with the recorded two-dimensional image information, so that a three-dimensional impression of the calculated two-dimensional representation is achieved.
