Abstract
An intelligent three dimensional scanner system mountable on a movable machine, including three dimensional scanner, a camera, and control circuitry. The control circuitry is configured to receive three dimensional point data from the three dimensional scanner, receive two dimensional image data from the camera, input the two dimensional image data to a machine learning model, which identifies objects in the two dimensional image data, fuse the three dimensional point data with the identified objects in the two dimensional image data in order to identify the objects in the three dimensional point data, and control a scan pattern to direct scanning resolution of the three dimensional scanner based on the identified objects.
