Abstract:
A system and method of generating a two-dimensional image of an environment is provided. The system includes a 2D scanner that comprises a light source, an image sensor and a controller. The controller determines a distance value to at least one of the object points. An inertial measurement unit is coupled to the scanner and has a first sensor. The first sensor has a first characteristic. A mobile computing device is removably coupled to the 2D scanner, the mobile computing device having a second sensor, the second sensor having a second characteristic. Processors are provided that are responsive to compare the first characteristic and the second characteristic and select one of the first or second sensor based on the comparison. The processors are further generate an image of the environment based on a signal from the selected first or second sensor.

Claim (Index 1):
A system of generating a two-dimensional (2D) image of an environment, the system comprising:\n a 2D scanner comprising:\n a light source, an image sensor and a controller, the light source steers a beam of light within the first plane to illuminate object points in the environment, the image sensor is arranged to receive light reflected from the object points, the controller being operable to determine a distance value to at least one of the object points; and \n an inertial measurement unit fixedly coupled relative to the 2D scanner and having a first sensor, the inertial measurement unit generating a signal in response a change in position or orientation of the housing, the first sensor having a first characteristic; \n a mobile computing device removably coupled to the 2D scanner, the mobile computing device having at least one second sensor, the at least one second sensor having a second characteristic; and one or more processors operably coupled to the 2D scanner and the mobile computing device, the one or more processors being responsive to nontransitory executable instructions for comparing the first characteristic and the second characteristic and selecting one of the first sensor and the at least one second sensor based at least in part on the comparison, the one or more processors being further responsive to generate a 2D image of the environment based at least in part in response to a signal from the selected first sensor or the at least one second sensor.
