  • System and method of registering point cloud data using subsample data
    Patent number: 11592564
    Abstract: A system of generating a three-dimensional (3D) scan of an environment includes multiple 3D scanners including a first 3D scanner at respective first and second positions. The system further includes a controller coupled to the 3D scanners via a common communications network. The first scanner and second scanner transmit a subset of data to the controller while acquiring a set of 3D coordinates. The controller registers the subsets of data to each other while the sets of 3D coordinates is being acquired.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 22, 2021
    Date of Patent: February 28, 2023
    Assignee: FARO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
    Inventors: Daniel Pompe, Manuel Caputo, José Gerardo Gómez Méndez, Zia ul Azam, Louis Bergmann, Daniel Flohr, Oliver Zweigle

  • System and method of scanning an environment using multiple scanners concurrently
    Patent number: 11086015
    Abstract: A system of generating a three-dimensional (3D) scan of an environment includes multiple 3D scanners including a first 3D scanner at respective first and second positions. The system further includes a controller coupled to the 3D scanners. The first 3D scanner acquires a first set of 3D coordinates, the first set of 3D coordinates having a first portion. The second 3D scanner acquires a second set of 3D coordinates, the second set of 3D coordinates having a second portion. The first portion and the second portion are simultaneously transmitted to the controller by the first 3D scanner and the second 3D scanner respectively, while the first set of 3D coordinates and the second set of 3D coordinates are being acquired. The controller registers the first portion and the second portion to each other while the first set of 3D coordinates and the second set of 3D coordinates are being acquired.
