    摘要: A method for automatically determining quality of registration of landmarks includes training an artificial intelligence (AI) system to detect inaccurate registration of landmarks. Training the AI system uses training data that includes scans of an environment captured by a 3D measuring device from corresponding scan points. A first scan is registered with at least a second scan based on one or more landmarks captured in the first scan and the second scan. Further, a model is created to identify incorrect registration by analyzing the training data. The analysis detects a mismatch in a first instance of a landmark in the first scan and a second instance of said landmark in the second scan. The model is then used to evaluate registration of landmarks in live data, the live data including a set of scans, the result identifying accuracy level of the registration of landmarks.

    摘要: A method and system for scanning and measuring an environment is provided. The method includes acquiring a first group of 3D coordinates of the area with a first 3D measurement device. The first 3D measurement device determines a distance to a surface in the area based at least in part on the speed of light. A second group of coordinates is acquired with a second measurement device while the first 3D measurement device is moved through the environment. The second measurement device being in a fixed relationship to the first 3D measurement device. The second measurement device determining a position of the second measurement device based on one or more points on the surface in the area based at least in part on a projected light. The first group of 3D coordinates is registered based at least in part the second group of coordinates.

    摘要: A method and system for scanning and measuring an environment is provided. The method includes providing a first three-dimensional (3D) measurement device. The 3D measurement device being operable in a helical mode or a compound mode, wherein a plurality of light beams are emitted along a first path defined by a first axis and a second axis in the compound mode and along a second path defined by the first axis in the helical mode. A mobile platform holding the 3D measurement device is moved from a first position. A first group of 3D coordinates of the area is acquired by the 3D measurement device when the mobile platform is moving. A second group of 3D coordinates of the area is acquired with a second 3D measurement device that with six-degrees of freedom (6 DOF). The first group of 3D coordinates is registered based on the third group of 3D coordinates.

    摘要: An example method includes receiving a first plurality of coordinate measurement points capturing a portion of an environment and a reference object within the environment, the first plurality of coordinate measurement points defining at least a portion of a first point cloud. The method further includes receiving a second plurality of coordinate measurement points from a position other than the at least one aerial position, the second plurality of coordinate measurement points capturing at least some of the portion of the environment and the reference object within the environment, the second plurality of coordinate measurement points defining at least a portion of a second point cloud. The method further includes aligning the first point cloud and the second point cloud based at least in part on the reference object captured in the first point cloud and the reference object captured the second point cloud to generate a combined point cloud.

    摘要: Aspects include a system and method for converting from point cloud data to computer-aided design (CAD) objects. A method includes providing a point cloud and a catalog of CAD objects. One of a plurality of points in the point cloud representing an item is selected. A CAD object in the catalog that corresponds to the item is selected. The CAD object is aligned to the item in the point cloud. A position and orientation of the aligned CAD object is output. The position and orientation are expressed in a coordinate system of the point cloud.

    摘要: A system and method for monitoring and servicing objects within a location. The system includes a scanner structured to measure coordinates of a point within a map of a location, an image capture device, a communications circuit structured to communicate with an external device or network, and a processor operably coupled to the scanner, the image capture device, and the communications circuit. The processor is configured to identify an object based on either an image captured by the image capture device or coordinates of a surface of the object measured by the scanner, to control the scanner to obtain a location of the object within the 2D map, and to control the communications circuit to transmit status data or a service request regarding the object and the location of the object to an external device or network.
