Abstract
Image-based method of defining a scanning area with a measuring radiation-based measuring device such as a laser scanner, the method comprising roughly aligning a targeting axis of the measuring device towards an area of interest to be scanned, the area of interest having a coherent visual property, capturing with known orientation to the targeting axis an image covering the area of interest, displaying the image to a user, manually selecting by the user of at least one pixel of a group of pixels representing the area of interest in the image, automatically segmenting the group of pixels based on a similarity to the at least one selected pixel using a machine learning algorithm, and automatically defining the scanning area based on border pixels of the first group of pixels.
