Abstract

A method includes providing a measuring device having a projector, a camera with a photosensitive array, and at least one processor, projecting with the projector a line of light onto an object, capturing with the camera an image of the projected line of light on the object within a window subregion of the photosensitive array, and calculating with the at least one processor three-dimensional (3D) coordinates of points on the object based at least in part on the projected line of light and on the captured image.
