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 14):
A system of generating a two-dimensional (2D) image of an environment, the system comprising:\n one or more processors; a 2D scanner sized and weighted to be carried by a single person, having a first light source, an image sensor, an inertial measurement unit having a first plurality of sensors, the first light source steers a beam of light within a first plane to illuminate object points in the environment, the image sensor is arranged to receive light reflected from the object points; mobile computing device removably coupled to the 2D scanner, the mobile computing device having a second plurality of sensors; wherein the one or more processors are responsive to executable instructions which when executed by the one or more processors to: select at least one of the first plurality of sensors and at least one of the second plurality of sensors based at least in part on operating characteristics of each of the first plurality of sensors and second plurality of sensors; calibrating the second plurality of sensors relative to the 2D scanner; cause the 2D scanner to measure coordinates of a collection of points in the environment based on the selected at least one of the first plurality of sensors and at least one of the second plurality of sensors; and transforming measurements made by the at least one of the first plurality of sensors and at least one of the second plurality of sensors based at least in part on the calibration to determine the measured coordinates of the collection of points in a common frame of reference.
