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 1):
A method of combining a plurality of two-dimensional (2D) images into a three-dimensional (3D) image of an object, the method comprising steps of:\n forming a first 2D image at the first position with a camera on a triangulation scanner; forming a second 2D image with the camera at the second position; determining at least one cardinal point in the first 2D image and the second 2D image; determining 3D coordinates of the at least one cardinal point based at least in part on a first 3D coordinates of a retroreflector at the first position and a second 3D coordinates of the retroreflector at the second position, the first 3D coordinates and second 3D coordinates measured with a laser tracker device; generating 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; and storing in a memory the first 3D image.
