Abstract
A system for generating surface data defining a position and location of an object is described. The system includes a non-contact measuring device for measuring the location of one or more points on a surface of an object with respect to the measuring device, an optical imaging device for capturing image information, and a processor. The processor is programmed to use the captured image information to determine location and orientation data for both the measuring device and the optical imaging device with respect to a fixed point in space, receive location measurement data from the measuring device, and combine the location and orientation data with the location measurement data to generate surface data for the object.
