Claim One:
1. A sensing device for detecting a three-dimensional spatial shape of a body, comprising a sensing arrangement ( 28 ) which sensing arrangement comprises: a sensing end ( 32 ) for scanning a spatial shape to be scanned of a body; a camera ( 30 ); a connecting device ( 34 ) for rigidly connecting the camera ( 30 ) with the sensing end ( 32 ), the camera ( 30 ) being arranged such that it can detect a surface ( 12 ) which is provided with marks ( 22 ) suitable to be automatically photogrammetrically evaluated and on which the body to be scanned has been placed, while the sensing end ( 32 ) scans different points of the spatial shape to be scanned of the body; and the sensing device further comprising: a photogrammetric evaluation program for a computing unit ( 18 ), the computing unit being configured such that image signals generated by the camera ( 30 ) can be routed to the computing unit ( 18 ) and the evaluation program can calculate the 3D coordinates of the spatial shape to be scanned from the sequence of recorded and transmitted image sections using the marks ( 22 ) suitable to be automatically photogrammetrically evaluated.
