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.
