Abstract

A system includes a three-dimensional (3D) scanner that captures a 3D point cloud corresponding to one or more objects in a surrounding environment. The system further includes a camera that captures a control image by capturing a plurality of images of the surrounding environment, and an auxiliary camera configured to capture an ultrawide-angle image of the surrounding environment. One or more processors of the system colorize the 3D point cloud using the ultrawide-angle image by mapping the ultrawide-angle image to the 3D point cloud. The system performs a limited system calibration before colorizing each 3D point cloud, and a periodic full system calibration before/after a plurality of 3D point clouds are colorized.
