Abstract: A system and method for measuring three-dimensional (3D) coordinate values of an environment is provided. The method including moving a 2D scanner through the environment. A 2D map of the environment is generated using the 2D scanner. A path is defined through the environment using the 2D scanner. 3D scan locations along the path are defined using the 2D scanner. The 2D scanner is operably coupled to a mobile base unit. The mobile base unit is moved along the path based at least in part on the 2D map and the defined path. 3D coordinate values are measured at the 3D scan locations with a 3D scanner, the 3D scanner being coupled to the mobile base unit.

Abstract: According to one or more embodiments, a system of generating a two-dimensional (2D) image of an environment includes a 2D scanner system that includes a measurement device that is mounted to a first body equipment of an operator and one or more processors that are mounted to a second body equipment of the operator. The measurement device includes a light source, an image sensor, and a controller to determine a distance value to one or more object points. The processors generate a 2D submap of the environment in response to an activation signal from the operator and based at least in part on the distance value, each submap generated from a respective point in the environment. Further, the processors generate a 2D image of the environment using multiple 2D submaps.

Abstract: A three dimensional coordinate measurement device and method of measuring is provided. The device including a housing having a first axis and a second axis. A first depth camera is coupled to the housing, the first depth camera having a first optical axis aligned with the first axis. A second depth camera is coupled to the housing, the second depth camera having a second optical axis disposed on a first angle relative to the first axis. A third depth camera is coupled to the housing, the third depth camera having a third optical axis disposed on a second angle relative to the first axis, the second angle being different than the first angle. A rotational device is coupled to rotate the housing about the second axis.
