Claim One:
1. A method for optically scanning and measuring an environment, in which a laser scanner emits an emission light beam by a light emitter, receives a reception light beam by a light receiver, the reflection light beam being reflected from an object in the environment of the laser scanner, and the laser scanner determining by a control and evaluation device for a multiplicity of measurement points at least a distance from the object to a center of the laser scanner, the method comprising steps of: displaying at least some of the measurement points on a display device; assigning the at least some of the measurement points to pixels of a plane; assigning distances of the at least some of the measurement points to the plane to respective depths; filling with values at least the pixels that are located between the pixels assigned to the measurement points; and filling the values of the pixels to be filled in dependence on the depth by selecting some of the pixels by searching for the pixels which are adjacent to the selected pixels and have a smaller depth, in dependence on the values of the adjacent pixels and on the depths of the adjacent pixels.
