Abstract
Sensor signals from a sensor of a coordinate measuring machine or microscope describe a workpiece arranged within a space. The sensor and the space are movable relative to one another. A method of visualizing the sensor signals includes obtaining data relating to a three-dimensional scene that is stationary relative to the space. The method includes generating a two-dimensional view image of the scene. The view image has opposing edges predefined with respect to at least one of the two directions. A central region of the view image is located between the edges. The method includes, repeatedly, obtaining a two-dimensional sensor representation of the workpiece and combining the sensor representation with the view image to form a two-dimensional output image. The method includes, in response to movement between the sensor and the space, generating a new view image if the central region would extend beyond either of the edges.
