Abstract
A system for generating a three-dimensional (3D) map of part of a field-of-view (FOV) of at least one detector of an active 3D scanner, comprising: the active 3D scanner, comprising: a mechanism configured to scan the FOV; at least one energy emitting source configured to emit energy pulses; and the at least one detector; and processing circuitry configured to: obtain information, wherein at least some of designation information is tracker-based designation information that is designated by a user of the system via a tracker that tracks a line-of-sight between the user and the FOV; selectively activate the energy emitting source to emit a subset of the energy pulses, in accordance with the information, including the tracker-based designation information, and in synchronization with the mechanism, to cover the part of the FOV; obtain current readings, from the detector, based on reflections of the subset of the energy pulses; and generate the 3D map based on the current readings.
