Abstract: 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.
