  • Integrated system for quickly and accurately imaging and modeling three-dimensional objects
    Patent number: 7184036
    Abstract: An integrated system generates a model of a three-dimensional object. A scanning laser device scans the three-dimensional object and generates a point cloud. The points of the point cloud each indicate a location of a corresponding point on a surface of the object. A first model is generated, responsive to the point cloud, that generates a first model representing constituent geometric shapes of the object. A data file is generated, responsive to the first model, that can be inputted to a computer-aided design system.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 15, 2003
    Date of Patent: February 27, 2007
    Assignee: Leica Geosystems HDS LLC

  • Integrated system for quickly and accurately imaging and modeling three dimensional objects
    Patent number: 5988862
    Abstract: An integrated system generates a model of a three-dimensional object. A scanning laser device scans the three-dimensional object and generates a point cloud. The points of the point cloud each indicate a location of a corresponding point on a surface of the object. A first model is generated, responsive to the point cloud which represents constituent geometric shapes of the object. A data file is generated, responsive to the first model, that can be inputted to a computer-aided design system.
