  • Patent number: 10719947
    Abstract: A three-dimensional (3D) measurement system and method is provided. The system includes a noncontact measurement device, an annotation member and a processor. The noncontact measurement device being operable to measure a distance from the noncontact measurement device to a surface. The annotation member is coupled to the noncontact measurement device. The processor is operably coupled to the noncontact measurement device and the annotation member, the processor operable to execute computer instructions when executed on the processor for determining 3D coordinates of at least one point in a field of view based at least in part on the distance, recording an annotation in response to an input from a user, and associating the annotation with the at least one point.

  • Publication number: 20180364033
    Abstract: A three-dimensional (3D) measurement system, method and computer program product are provided. The system includes a noncontact measurement device that measures a distance from the noncontact measurement device to a surface. The device includes a projector that emits a light pattern. A measurement camera is coupled to the noncontact measurement device. A first color camera is provided having a first quality parameter. A second color camera is coupled to the device, the second color camera having a second quality parameter, the second quality parameter being larger than the first quality parameter. One or more processors are operably coupled to the noncontact measurement device that determine 3D coordinates of at least one point in a field of view and selectively acquiring an image with the second color camera.
