Title: ARTIFACT FILTERING USING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Abstract: A system and a method for removing artifacts from a 3D coordinate data are provided. The system includes one or more processors and a measuring device. The one or more processors are operable to receive training data and train the 3D measuring device to identify artifacts by analyzing the training data. The one or more processors are further operable to identify artifacts in live data based on the training of the processor system. The one or more processors are further operable to generate clear scan data by filtering the artifacts from the live data and output the clear scan data.

Claims: number: 1
text: A system comprising:
number: 2
text: The system of claim 1, wherein the 3D measuring device further includes a light source and a camera.
number: 3
text: The system of claim 1, wherein the training to identify the artifacts includes associating patterns with known moving objects.
number: 4
text: The system of claim 3, wherein the identifying of the artifacts includes identifying one or more of the patterns of known moving object in the live data.
number: 5
text: The system of claim 4, wherein the generating clear scan data includes removing a third 3D coordinate data from the live data, the third 3D coordinate data comprising data points in the identified one or more patterns.
number: 6
text: The system of claim 1, wherein the one or more processors are integral with the 3D measuring device.
number: 7
text: A method for generating clear scan data comprising:
number: 8
text: The method of claim 7, wherein the 3D measuring device further includes a light source and a camera.
number: 9
text: The method of claim 7, wherein the training to identify the artifacts includes associating patterns with known moving objects.
number: 10
text: The method of claim 9, wherein the identifying of the artifacts includes identifying one or more of the patterns of known moving objects in the live data.
number: 11
text: The method of claim 10, wherein the generating clear scan data includes removing a third 3D coordinate data from the live data, the third 3D coordinate data comprising data points in the one or more identified patterns.
number: 12
text: The method of claim 7, wherein the one or more processors are integral with the 3D measuring device.
number: 13
text: A non-transitory computer readable medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions readable by one or more processors to cause the one or more processors to perform a method for generating clear scan data comprising:
number: 14
text: The computer readable medium of claim 13, wherein the 3D measuring device further includes a light source and a camera.
number: 15
text: The computer readable medium of claim 13, wherein:
