Abstract
A measuring system can three-dimensionally reconstruct surface geometry of an object by, from a first pose with a sensor, generating a first three-dimensional representation of a first portion of the object, and with a first camera, generating a first image covering at least part of the first portion, and from a second pose with the sensor, generating a second three-dimensional representation of a second portion of the object, and with the first camera, generating a second image covering at least part of the second portion. A stationary first projector can be arranged externally configured for projecting a texture onto both first and second portions of the object. A stitching computer can be configured for generating a unitary three-dimensional representation of both the first and second portions of the object from the first and second three-dimensional representations based on the first and second images.
