Abstract

An acquisition device for at least semiautomated acquisition of sets of multiple object data of at least one object, including a movement device for generating a defined relative movement between at least one object data acquisition unit and the at least one object.

Claims (38)

1. An acquisition device for at least semiautomated acquisition of sets of multiple object data of at least one object, comprising:

a movement device configured to generate a defined relative movement between at least one object data acquisition unit and the at least one object;

wherein the movement device has a movement unit for detecting object data of the at least one object from multiple perspectives, and wherein the movement unit is for guiding the at least one object data acquisition unit along an at least partially curved path, and

wherein the movement device includes a drive unit for vertically moving and for rotating an object carrier unit about a swivel axis and/or a rotational axis of a bearing unit, and wherein the at least one object data acquisition unit, in addition to being movable along the at least partially curved path, is rotationally movable about another swivel axis and/or another rotational axis of the object data acquisition unit.

2. The acquisition device as recited in claim 1 , further comprising:

an object carrier unit.

3. The acquisition device as recited in claim 2 , wherein the object carrier unit includes at least one object carrier, which has an object carrier wall that is transparent in at least one operating state.

4. The acquisition device as recited in claim 2 , wherein the object carrier unit includes a setting unit, using which a reflectance, an absorbance and/or transmittance is adjustable.

5. The acquisition device as recited in claim 2 , wherein the object carrier unit is intended for active illumination.

6. The acquisition device as recited in claim 2 , wherein the object carrier unit has at least one light source.

7. The acquisition device as recited in claim 2 , wherein the object carrier unit includes at least one light-emitting diode, the at least one light-emitting diode including at least one organic light-emitting diode.

8. The acquisition device as recited in claim 2 , further comprising:

at least one illumination unit which is adjustable at least semiautomatically as a function of a parameter of the object and/or of the object data acquisition unit.

9. The acquisition device as recited in claim 2 , wherein the illumination unit includes at least one subsurface illumination unit, which is situated at least partially on the object carrier unit.

10. The acquisition device as recited in claim 9 , wherein the illumination unit is positioned on the object carrier unit in the form of a grid.

11. The acquisition device as recited in claim 1 , wherein the movement device includes the bearing unit via which the object carrier unit is movably supported, and wherein the bearing unit has the at least one swivel axis and/or the rotational axis about which the object carrier unit is swivelably and/or rotatably supported.

12. A system, comprising:

an acquisition device for providing at least semiautomated acquisition of sets of multiple object data of at least one object, the acquisition device including a movement device configured to generate a defined relative movement between at least one object data acquisition unit and the at least one object, wherein the movement device has a movement unit for detecting object data of the at least one object from multiple perspectives, and wherein the movement unit is for guiding the at least one object data acquisition unit along an at least partially curved path, and wherein the movement device includes a drive unit for vertically moving and for rotating an object carrier unit about a swivel axis and/or a rotational axis of a bearing unit, and wherein the at least one object data acquisition unit, in addition to being movable along the at least partially curved path, is rotationally movable about another swivel axis and/or another rotational axis of the object data acquisition unit;

a storage unit that stores data sets generated at least partially by the acquisition device;

a mobile acquisition unit; and

a processing unit configured to evaluate data acquired by the mobile acquisition unit in view of at least the storage unit.

13. A method for acquiring sets of multiple object data of at least one object, the method comprising:

utilizing an acquisition device for at least semiautomated acquisition of sets of multiple object data of at least one object;

wherein the acquisition device includes a movement device configured to generate a defined relative movement between at least one object data acquisition unit and the at least one object,

wherein the movement device has a movement unit for detecting object data of the at least one object from multiple perspectives, and wherein the movement unit is for guiding the at least one object data acquisition unit along an at least partially curved path, and

wherein the movement device includes a drive unit for vertically moving and for rotating an object carrier unit about a swivel axis and/or a rotational axis of a bearing unit, and wherein the at least one object data acquisition unit, in addition to being movable along the at least partially curved path, is rotationally movable about another swivel axis and/or another rotational axis of the object data acquisition unit.

14. A method for acquiring sets of multiple object data of at least one object, the method comprising:

utilizing a system including an acquisition device for at least semiautomated acquisition of sets of multiple object data of at least one object, wherein the acquisition device includes a movement device configured to generate a defined relative movement between at least one object data acquisition unit and the at least one object, wherein the movement device has a movement unit for detecting object data of the at least one object from multiple perspectives, wherein the movement unit is for guiding the at least one object data acquisition unit along an at least partially curved path, and wherein the movement device includes a drive unit for vertically moving and for rotating an object carrier unit about a swivel axis and/or a rotational axis of a bearing unit, and wherein the at least one object data acquisition unit, in addition to being movable along the at least partially curved path, is rotationally movable about another swivel axis and/or another rotational axis of the object data acquisition unit;

a storage unit that stores data sets generated at least partially by the acquisition device;

a mobile acquisition unit; and

a processing unit configured to evaluate data acquired by the mobile acquisition unit in view of at least the storage unit.

15. The method as recited in claim 14 , further comprising:

setting at least one parameter of an illumination unit at least semiautomatically as a function of at least one acquired parameter of the object;

wherein the acquisition device includes the illumination unit.

16. The method as recited in claim 14 , further comprising:

setting at least one parameter of an illumination unit at least semiautomatically as a function of at least one parameter of the object data acquisition unit;

wherein the acquisition device includes the illumination unit.

17. The method as recited in claim 14 , wherein the movement device includes the bearing unit via which the object carrier unit is movably supported, and wherein the bearing unit has the at least one swivel axis and/or the rotational axis about which the object carrier unit is swivelably and/or rotatably supported.
