Abstract:
A method and system of combining 2D images into a 3D image. The method includes providing a coordinate measurement device and a triangulation scanner having an integral camera associated therewith, the scanner being separate from the coordinate measurement device. In a first instance, the coordinate measurement device determines the position and orientation of the scanner and the integral camera captures a first 2D image. In a second instance, the scanner is moved, the coordinate measurement device determines the position and orientation of the scanner, and the integral camera captures a second 2D image. A common feature point in the first and second images is found and is used, together with the first and second images and the positions and orientations of the scanner in the first and second instances, to create the 3D image.

Claim (Index 10):
A system for combining a plurality of two-dimensional (2D) images into a three-dimensional (3D) image of an object, the system comprising:\n a six-degree of freedom triangulation scanner having a retroreflector and an augmented reality (AR) camera; a laser tracker having a distance meter, the device operable to measure a distance from the laser tracker to the retroreflector, the laser tracker further operable to determine a 3D coordinates of the triangulation scanner; one or more processors responsive to nontransitory executable computer instructions, the one or more processors operably coupled to the triangulation scanner and the laser tracker, the nontransitory executable computer instructions comprising: p 2  determining with the device a first 3D coordinates of the retroreflector at a first position;\n forming a first 2D image with the camera at the first position; \n determining with the device a second 3D coordinates of the triangulation scanner at a second position; \n forming a second 2D image with the AR camera at the second position; \n determining at least one cardinal point in the first 2D image and the second 2D image; \n determining 3D coordinates of the at least one cardinal point based at least in part on the first set of 3D coordinates and the second set of 3D coordinates; \n creating a 3D image from the first 2D image and the second 2D image based at least in part on the 3D coordinates of the at least one cardinal point in the first frame of reference; and \n storing in a memory the 3D image.
