  • Patent number: 11015930
    Abstract: A method for a three dimensional surveying of a 3D-scene for deriving a true-to-size 3D-model. It involves deriving a first 3D-partial-model of a section of the 3D-scene together with a capturing of at least one first 2D-visual-image and a second 3D-partial-model of another section of the 3D-scene, together with a capturing of at least one second 2D-visual-image, wherein the 3D-partial-models are partially overlapping. The first 3D-partial-model is conglomerated with the second 3D-partial-model to form the 3D-model of the 3D-scene, which is done with defining a first line segment in the first 2D-visual-image and a second line segment in the second 2D-visual-image, which first and second line segments are representing a visual feature, which is common in both of the 2D-visual-images. The line segments in the 2D-visual-images are utilized in conglomerating the corresponding 3D-partial models to form the 3D-model of the whole 3D-scene.

  • Patent number: 10645363
    Abstract: A method for an image-based measurement of a scene using a handheld apparatus, including a recording of at least one first image and one second image of the scene by at least one camera of the apparatus, a photogrammetric evaluating of the first and the second image, and a graphic outputting of an image representation of the scene on a display unit, characterized by an automatically proceeding edge measurement functionality, as part of which, in each case without user intervention, edges in the scene are identified utilizing at least one image of the scene, edge lengths of the identified edges are ascertained based on the photogrammetrically evaluated images, and the ascertained edge lengths are displayed in the image representation of the scene.
