Abstract

A three-dimensional (3D) measurement system, a method of measuring 3D coordinates, and a method of generating dense 3D data is provided. The method of measuring 3D coordinates includes using a first 3D measurement device and a second 3D measurement device in a cooperative manner is provided. The method includes acquiring a first set of 3D coordinates with the first 3D measurement device. The first set of 3D coordinates are transferred to the second 3D measurement device. A second set of 3D coordinates is acquired with the second 3D measurement device. The second set of 3D coordinates are registered to the first set of 3D coordinates in real-time while the second 3D measurement device is acquiring the second set of 3D coordinates.
