METHOD FOR OPTICALLY MEASURING THREE-DIMENSIONAL COORDINATES AND CONTROLLING A THREE-DIMENSIONAL MEASURING DEVICE

摘要

A method for scanning and obtaining three-dimensional (3D) coordinates is provided. The method includes providing a 3D measuring device having a projector, a first camera and a second camera. The method records images of a light pattern emitted by the projector onto an object. The 3D measuring device is moved from a first position and a second position along a second path. A gesture and a corresponding control function are determined based at least in part on the first position and the second position.

1. Method for optically scanning and measuring an environment, the method comprising:
providing a three-dimensional (3D) measurement device having a first camera, a second camera and a projector, the 3D measurement device further having a control and evaluation device operably coupled to the at least one camera and the projector, the control and evaluation device having memory; providing a rule of correspondence between each of a plurality of commands and each of a plurality of gestures, each gesture from among the plurality of gestures including a movement along a path by the 3D measurement device, the rule of correspondence based at least in part on the movement along a first path, the rule of correspondence being stored in the memory; emitting a light pattern onto an object with the projector; recording a first set of images of the light pattern with the first camera and the second camera at a first time; recording a second set of images of the light pattern with the first camera and the second camera at a second time; producing a 3D scan of the object based at least in part on the first image and the second image; moving the 3D measuring device along a second path from a first position to a second position; determining a gesture based at least in part on the movement from the first position to the second position; determining a first control function based at least in part on the gesture and the rule of correspondence; and executing the first control function on the 3D measurement device.
