Abstract:
A method and system are provided for controlling a laser tracker remotely from the laser tracker through gestures performed by a user. The method includes providing a rule of correspondence between each of a plurality of commands and each of a plurality of user gestures. A gesture is performed by the user with the user's body that corresponds to one of the plurality of user gestures. The gesture performed by the user is detected. The gesture recognition engine determines a first command from one of the plurality of commands that correspond with the detected gesture. Then the first command is executed with the laser tracker.
Abstract:
A device for optically scanning and measuring an environment is provided. The device includes a first measurement device that emits a light beam in a direction to measure a distance to a remote target based at least in part on light reflected by the remote target. A three-dimensional camera coupled to a periphery of the first measurement device is configured to record an image of an object. A processor is operably coupled to the first measurement device and three-dimensional camera and is responsive to determine the three-dimensional coordinates of the measurement point based at least in part on the angles of rotation of the device and the distance. The processor further being responsive to determine the three-dimensional coordinates of a plurality of points on the object based at least in part on the angles of rotation of the device and the image.
