Abstract

A handheld large-scale three-dimensional measurement scanner system simultaneously having photogrammetric and three-dimensional scanning functions includes: two cameras at fixed positions; at least one pattern projector; a photogrammetric module; and a three-dimensional scanning module, wherein at least one of the two cameras is a multipurpose camera that performs photogrammetry and three-dimensional scanning, wherein the photogrammetric module is configured to perform, by operating the multipurpose camera, global photogrammetry on a measured object and obtain three-dimensional coordinates of markers on a surface of the object, and wherein the three-dimensional scanning module is configured to perform, by operating the two cameras and the one pattern projector, three-dimensional scanning on the measured object by using the obtained markers as global positioning information of the measured object, and obtain three-dimensional contour data of the surface of the object. The present invention has photogrammetric and three-dimensional scanning functions simultaneously, a high degree of hardware integration, simplicity in operation, and excellent cost-performance ratio.

Claims (28)

1. A handheld three-dimensional measurement scanner system with photogrammetric and three-dimensional scanning functions, comprising:

two cameras at fixed positions;

at least one pattern projector;

and

a processor,

wherein at least one of the two cameras is a multipurpose camera that performs photogrammetry and three-dimensional scanning,

wherein the processor is configured to perform, by operating the multipurpose camera, global photogrammetry on a measured object and obtain three-dimensional coordinates of markers on a surface of the object, and

wherein the processor is configured to perform, by operating the two cameras and the pattern projector, three-dimensional scanning on the measured object by using the obtained markers as global positioning information of the measured object, and obtain three-dimensional contour data of the surface of the object.

2. The handheld three-dimensional measurement scanner system with photogrammetric and three-dimensional scanning functions according to claim 1 ,

wherein one of the two cameras is the multipurpose camera and the other is a single-purpose camera that performs three-dimensional scanning.

3. The handheld large scale three-dimensional measurement scanner system with photogrammetric and three-dimensional scanning functions according to claim 2 ,

wherein the processor illuminates the markers disposed on or adhered to the surface of the object by providing, from supplemental light sources with two different wavebands, supplemental lighting on the surface of the measured object,

wherein the processor provides supplemental lighting on the measured object from a supplemental light source with a first waveband, and provides supplemental lighting on the measured object from a supplemental light source with a second waveband,

wherein the multipurpose camera uses a dual-waveband filter to filter out light outside the first waveband and the second waveband, and the single-purpose camera uses a single-waveband filter to filter out light outside the second waveband, and

wherein the pattern projector projects a pattern on the surface of the measured object in the second waveband.

4. The handheld three-dimensional measurement scanner system with photogrammetric and three-dimensional scanning functions according to claim 3 ,

wherein the first waveband is an infrared waveband and the second waveband is a red waveband.

5. The handheld three-dimensional measurement scanner system with photogrammetric and three-dimensional scanning functions according to claim 4 ,

wherein the multipurpose camera uses a default resolution when the processor performs photogrammetry, and

wherein the multipurpose camera uses a resolution lower than the default resolution when the processor performs three-dimensional scanning.

6. The handheld three-dimensional measurement scanner system with photogrammetric and three-dimensional scanning functions according to claim 3 ,

wherein the multipurpose camera uses a default resolution when the processor performs photogrammetry, and

wherein the multipurpose camera uses a resolution lower than the default resolution when the processor performs three-dimensional scanning.

7. The handheld three-dimensional measurement scanner system with photogrammetric and three-dimensional scanning functions according to claim 2 ,

wherein the multipurpose camera uses a default resolution when the processor performs photogrammetry, and

wherein the multipurpose camera uses a resolution lower than the default resolution when the processor performs three-dimensional scanning.

8. The handheld three-dimensional measurement scanner system with photogrammetric and three-dimensional scanning functions according to claim 7 ,

wherein the multipurpose camera adjusts the resolution by pixel merging or according to region of interest (ROI).
