Abstract: A three-dimensional (3D) measuring system and a method of determining a distance is provided. The 3D measuring system includes a display and an imager device. The imager device having a projector, a first camera and a second camera arranged in a predetermined geometric relationship, the first and second camera each having a photosensitive array with a plurality of pixels that transmit a signal in response to a wavelength of light. The projector projects a pattern that includes at least one element. The system further having one or more processors operably coupled to the display, the projector, and the first and second camera. The processors are responsive to computer instructions for determining a distance to the at least one element and changing an indicator on the display corresponding to the distance relative to a predetermined projector-to-object distance.

Abstract: A three-dimensional (3D) measuring system and a method of determining a distance is provided. A three-dimensional (3D) measuring system includes a master part having a first base part and a first part-under-test including a second base. A photogrammetry camera images the master part to generate two-dimensional (2D) images. A first 3D imager determines 3D coordinates in a first imager frame of reference. A second 3D imager determines 3D coordinates in a second imager frame of reference. The system determines in a system frame of reference a first pose of the first imager and a second pose of the second imager. The system is further configured to determine 3D coordinates of the first part-under-test in the system frame of reference.

Abstract: A three-dimensional (3D) measuring system and a method of determining a distance is provided. A three-dimensional (3D) measuring system includes a projector operable to project a pattern of light onto an object. A camera is operable to image the projected pattern of light. An electrical power distribution network is operable to receive alternating current having a line frequency. A control system is operable to set an exposure time of the camera to a positive integer divided by twice a line frequency. A processor is operable to determine three-dimensional (3D) coordinates of a point on the object based at least on the projected pattern of light and on the imaged pattern of light.
