Abstract
A method of pose calculation for a portable three-dimensional scanning device including a first sensor and a second sensor the method including utilizing data from the first sensor and data from the second sensor to acquire data defining six degrees of freedom of the scanning device to optimize a first pose calculation, receiving data comprising one of data from the first sensor and data from the second sensor, selecting a subset of the six degrees of freedom of the scanning device, utilizing the data from the first sensor and the received data for the selected subset of six degrees of freedom to optimize a second pose, wherein the unselected degrees of freedom are retained from the first pose and storing received data associated with the second camera pose in a point cloud database.
