A coordinate measuring system includes a scanning module having a laser line scanner and a projection device. The laser line scanner projects a laser line onto a surface of a workpiece and produces scan data from a reflection of the laser line. The projection device and/or the laser line scanner project three optical markers onto the surface of the workpiece, at least one of the three markers being disposed on the laser line and at least one of the three markers being at a distance from the laser line. The coordinate measuring system includes an optical sensor capturing image data of the three optical markers and an evaluation device determining a position and an orientation of the coordinate system of the laser line scanner in the coordinate system of the optical sensor based on the image data of the optical sensor and the scan data of the laser line scanner.

Coordinate measuring system

A method and a system for determining a 6-DOF-pose of an object in space use at least one marker attached to the object and a plurality of cameras. Perspectives of the cameras are directed to a common measuring space in which the object is positioned. At least one camera from the plurality of cameras is movable such that the movable camera can be adjusted with respect to the object. At least one of the cameras captures an image of said marker attached to the object. Based on the at least one captured image, spatial parameters representing the 3D-position or the 6-DOF-pose of the marker and, consequently, the 6-DOF-pose of the object in space can be determined.

Variable measuring object dependent camera setup and calibration thereof

A specimen of an artificial marker is arranged on an object, the position of which is to be determined. The artificial marker defines a nominal marker pattern with nominal characteristics. The specimen embodies the nominal marker pattern with individual characteristics. One or more images of the specimen are captured while the specimen is arranged on the object. An image representation of the specimen is analyzed using a data set. The data set comprises measured data values representing the individual characteristics as individually measured on the first specimen. Position values representing a 3D position of the specimen relative to a coordinate system are determined. A 3D position of the object is determined based on the position values of the specimen.
