Abstract

See full text

The present invention relates to non-contact optical scanning of an object for generation of a three-dimensional surface model of the scanned object. In particular the invention relates to a scanner for obtaining the three-dimensional geometry of at least a part of the surface of an object, said scanner comprising: —at least one light source, preferably a laser light source with adjustable power, —projection means for directing light from the at least one light source to a moving spot on the surface of the object, —at least one image sensor adapted to record at least one image of at least a part of the surface, —detection means, other than the at least one image sensor, for monitoring at least a part of the light reflected from the surface, —regulation means for adjusting the intensity of the at least one light source based on the amount of light reflected from the surface, and—means for transforming the at least one image to a three-dimensional model of the surface.
