Publication number: 20230142545Abstract: A device and method for precise selection of a space coordinate by means of a digital image. A digital image of surface elements in a three-dimensional space and a point cloud are provided, with space coordinates allocated to the points which form the point cloud, and surface elements allocated to the points in the three-dimensional space. The surface elements in the three-dimensional space are visualised by a first display. A pixel of the digital image is tagged, and approximated space coordinates for the tagged pixel are determined, which correspond to the surface element visualised by the tagged pixel in three-dimensional space. Subsequently, a supplementary view is superimposed, which displays the points of the point cloud located within a limited three-dimensional environment of the approximate space coordinates determined for the tagged pixel in a second display. Finally, a point of the point cloud is selected in the supplementary view.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 12, 2021Publication date: May 11, 2023Applicant: NavVis GmbHInventors: Fahad MANSOOR, Robert HUITL, Raphael NEBLICH, Lisa CALI, Tamino HARTMAN, Stefan ROMBERG, Georg SCHROTH

Publication number: 20210132195Abstract: A mobile apparatus for capturing an object space includes a frame and at least one single scanner mounted on the frame and a multiple scanner mounted on the frame above the single scanner. This multiple scanner has a plurality of emission units integrated in one component, a receiver for detecting reflected rays, and a scanning device for changing the emission directions of the signal beams of the emission units. Furthermore, the mobile apparatus has an evaluation device which is designed to generate and output in real time, at least from the reflected rays detected by the receiver, a graphical representation of those areas of the object space through which the mobile apparatus can be moved and/or has been moved. Finally, the mobile apparatus has a data interface designed to output data to a memory device for post-processing. A corresponding method for capturing an object space is also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 8, 2019Publication date: May 6, 2021Applicant: NavVis GmbHInventors: Mandolin MAIDT, Andreas GOEBEL, Stefan ROMBERG, Georg SCHROTH, Michael JASCHKE, Prashant DOSHI, Sarah GODOJ, Hernando Samuel PINZON HOLGUIN, Matthias WAGNER, Humberto ALVAREZ-HEREDIA, Neeti TYAGI, Paul ZELLER, Christian WERNER
