Abstract

The invention relates to an optical measuring method for three-dimensionally capturing the surface of an object by means of an optical capturing unit, wherein the optical capturing unit is moved relative to the object during a first measurement time period, the object is illuminated by the capturing unit with an illumination beam having a light intensity, height images are captured by the capturing unit in succession at a capturing frequency, at least some of the captured height images during the measurement time period are added to form a total height image and the total height image is displayed, and the light intensity and/or the capturing frequency are controlled during the measurement time period by control signals, the control signals being produced at time intervals during the measurement time period and each control signal being produced on the basis of at least one sensor signal of a temperature sensor.
