Abstract
A method for measuring and registering three-dimensional (3D) coordinates by measuring 3D coordinates with a 3D scanner in a first position, measuring two-dimensional (2D) coordinates with a 2D scanner while moving from the first position to a second position, measuring 3D coordinates with the 3D scanner at the second position, and determining a correspondence among targets in the first and second positions while moving between the second position and a third registration position.
