Abstract: Systems and methods of generating two-dimensional (2D) images of an environment are provided. The systems includes a measurement device and a processor configured to generate a 2D image of an environment based at least in part on a number of 2D scans, a first translation value, a first translation direction, a second translation value, a second translation direction, a first rotation value, and a second rotation value. Generating the 2D image further includes generating a grid map that includes a plurality of cells, each of the plurality of cells indicating a probability of a cell area being occupied.

Abstract: A software camera lock is provided. A first image is displayed as a 3D image, wherein a semi-transparent second image overlays the first image. A software camera is inserted at a fixed location in the 3D image, wherein the software camera provides a field-of-view (FOV) displaying a portion of the 3D image, the FOV displaying a first reference in the FOV, the second image displaying a second reference that represents first reference and comprising an object. Software camera is locked in FOV using a lock software camera mode. A model is inserted in first image to match a location of the object in second image, wherein locking the software camera in the FOV causes the FOV of the first image to be maintained in place as the model is being moved in the first image to match the location of the object in second image.

Abstract: A system and method of generating a two-dimensional (2D) image of an environment is provided. The system includes a housing having a body and a handle. A 2D scanner is disposed in the body and has a light source, an image sensor and a controller, the light source steers a beam of light within a first plane to illuminate object points in the environment. The image sensor is arranged to receive light reflected from the object points and the controller determines a distance value to at least one of the object points. An inertial measurement unit is provided having a 3D accelerometer and a 3D gyroscope. One or more processors are responsive to executable instructions for generating a 2D image of the environment in response to an activation signal from an operator and based at least in part on the distance values and the signal.
