ALIGNMENT AND REGISTRATION SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR COORDINATE SCANNERS

Abstract:

An example method includes moving a base unit through an environment, the base unit comprising the first scanner and the second scanner. The method further includes capturing, by the first scanner, a first scan of the environment, the first scan comprising at least one first scanline The method further includes capturing, by the second scanner, a second scan of the environment, the second scan comprising at least one second scanline, wherein the second scanner scans about a first axis at a first speed and scans about a second axis at a second speed. The method further includes determining, by a processing system, an intersection at an object surface between one of the at least one first scanline and one of the at least one second scanline The method further includes aligning, by the processing system, the first scan and the second scan based at least in part on the intersection.
