Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to a method and system for scanning an object or environment with a ranging sensor. The method involves rotating a ranging sensor around a rotation reference point and associating the distances measured with the ranging sensor with rotation measurements from a rotation sensor fixed to the ranging sensor. The associated data is used to populate a data plot or data table to be used to generate three-dimensional models.
