Abstract:
A method for determining an exposure, in particular an exposure time, for a recording in a method for determining the 3D coordinates of an object is provided, in which a pattern is projected onto the object and the light reflected by the object is recorded. To improve such a method, a recording of the object is produced with a predetermined exposure, in particular exposure time. A mask image of this recording is produced, in which mask image the regions of the object lying within the measurement volume are depicted. The exposure, in particular the exposure time, for the recording is determined depending on the predetermined exposure, in particular exposure time, depending on the mean greyscale value in the regions, lying within the measurement volume, of the recording with a predetermined exposure and depending on an ideal greyscale value.

Claim (Index 9):
An apparatus for carrying out the method according to  claim 1 , the apparatus comprising:\n a projector configured to project the pattern onto the object; a camera configured to record the light reflected by the object; a device configured to produce the mask image of the recording in which the regions of the object lying within the measurement volume are depicted; and a device configured to determine the exposure time t 1  for the recording depending on: the predetermined exposure time t 0 , the mean greyscale value b n  in the regions lying within the measurement volume of the recording with the predetermined exposure time t 0 , and the ideal greyscale value b opt .
