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.

System and method of defining a path and scanning an environment

Aspects of the present disclosure provide a system for measuring an object, the system including a plurality of frame segments. The frame segments are configured to mechanically couple together to form a frame. The plurality of frame segments includes a plurality of measurement device link segments and each of the plurality of measurement device link segments includes a measurement device which together form a plurality of measurement devices having a field of view within or adjacent to the frame. Each of the plurality of measurement devices is operable to measure three-dimensional (3D) coordinates for a plurality of points on the object. The system further includes a computing device to receive data from the plurality of measurement devices via a network established by the plurality of measurement device link segments.

Modular inspection system for measuring an object

A system including a multi-dimensional scanner includes a body including a chassis extending from the body, a connector assembly coupled to the chassis, and a plurality of interchangeable attachments. Each of the plurality of interchangeable attachments is securable to the body via the connector assembly and each of the plurality of interchangeable attachments is associated with a type of operation of the system.

A system and method for measuring three-dimensional (3D) coordinate values of an environment is provided. The method including moving a scanning platform through the environment along a path. The position of the scanning platform is localized using the scanner. 3D coordinate values are with a 3D scanner that is coupled to the scanning platform.

A system for linking information of a point of interest to a position within an image of the location may include a portable device structured to determine a position of the point of interest in the image when the portable device is present within the location depicted by the image; an accessory operably coupled to the portable device and comprising a tool structured to provide information related to the point of interest; a processor operably coupled to the portable device and configured to create a data structure linking the information with the position of the point of interest; and a storage structured to store the data structure.

System and method of scanning an environment

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.

Wearable scanning device for generating floorplan
