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: 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.

Abstract: A movable support device for mounting a measuring instrument via an attachment and a method of assembling a support device for a measuring instrument are provided. The device includes a body having an internal clearance and a plurality of mounting ports for receiving the attachment. At least one wheel is connectable to the body, wherein when the at least one wheel is connected to the body, the body is supported by the at least one wheel. A handle assembly is connectable to the body. Wherein the device is transformable between an operational position and a stowed position, and in the stowed position, a portion of at least one of the handle assembly and the at least one wheel is arranged within the internal clearance.

Abstract: A method for updating a digital representation of an environment includes capturing an image of a portion of the environment using a change-detection device. Further, a corresponding digital data is determined that represents the portion in the digital representation of the environment. A change in the portion is detected by comparing the image with the corresponding digital data. In response to the change being above a predetermined threshold, the method includes initiating a resource-intensive scan of the portion using a scanning device, and updating the digital representation of the environment by replacing the corresponding digital data representing the portion with the resource-intensive scan.

Abstract: Techniques are described for updating a digital twin of an environment, particularly, a digital representation of an object in the environment. A system can include a change-detection device having a camera, and one or more processors responsive to executable computer instructions to perform a method. The method includes capturing an image of a portion of the object using the change-detection device. The method further includes determining a corresponding digital data representing the portion in the digital representation of the environment. The method further includes detecting a change in the portion by comparing the image with the corresponding digital data. The method further includes in response to the change being above a predetermined threshold, initiating a resource-intensive scan of the portion using a scanning device, and updating the digital representation of the object by replacing the corresponding digital data representing the portion with the resource-intensive scan.
