    Abstract: A three-dimensional (3D) measuring instrument includes a registration camera and a surface measuring system having a projector and an autofocus camera. For the instrument in a first pose, the registration camera captures a first registration image of first registration points. The autofocus camera captures a first surface image of first light projected onto the object by the projector and determines first 3D coordinates of points on the object. For the instrument in a second pose, the registration camera captures a second registration image of second registration points. The autofocus camera adjusts the autofocus mechanism and captures a second surface image of second light projected by the projector. A compensation parameter is determined based at least in part on the first registration image, the second registration image, the first 3D coordinates, the second surface image, and the projected second light.

    Abstract: A three-dimensional (3D) measurement system, a method of measuring 3D coordinates, and a method of generating dense 3D data is provided. The method of measuring 3D coordinates includes using a first 3D measurement device and a second 3D measurement device in a cooperative manner is provided. The method includes acquiring a first set of 3D coordinates with the first 3D measurement device. The first set of 3D coordinates are transferred to the second 3D measurement device. A second set of 3D coordinates is acquired with the second 3D measurement device. The second set of 3D coordinates are registered to the first set of 3D coordinates in real-time while the second 3D measurement device is acquiring the second set of 3D coordinates.

    Abstract: A system and method of determining three-dimensional coordinates is provided. The method includes, with a projector, projecting onto an object a projection pattern that includes collection of object spots. With a first camera, a first image is captured that includes first-image spots. With a second camera, a second image is captured that includes second-image spots. Each first-image spot is divided into first-image spot rows. Each second-image spot is divided into second-image spot rows. Central values are determined for each first-image and second-image spot row. A correspondence is determined among first-image and second-image spot rows, the corresponding first-image and second-image spot rows being a spot-row image pair. Tach spot-row image pair having a corresponding object spot row on the object. Three-dimensional (3D) coordinates of each object spot row are determined on the central values of the corresponding spot-row image pairs. The 3D coordinates of the object spot rows are stored.
