Measurement device for measuring distance and spatial coordinates of object, has light source that generates spatially structured light pattern imaged on object surface using projection optics

摘要

Device for measuring the distance to and spatial coordinates of an object (4), or their change over time. The device has a light source, projection optics (2) and a recording device for recording an image of the object surface that is then analyzed in an evaluation unit. The light source can be spatially structured to generate a spatially structured light pattern, which is then imaged on the object surface using the projection optics. An independent claim is made for a method for measuring the distance to and spatial coordinates of an object, or their change over time.
