Abstract
The present disclosure provides a three-dimensional scanner for acquiring three-dimensional shape information of an object using focusing, including a light source configured to emit light from an emission end face of a housing to the object; a sensor configured to detect light from the light source reflected by the object; a variable focus lens that is provided between the object and the sensor and that changes a focal position based on the object; and a controller configured to change the focal position of the variable focus lens in a process of acquiring the three-dimensional shape information of the object, wherein the controller is configured to change an amount of light from the light source reflected by the object and reaching the sensor based on the focal position of the variable focus lens.
