Abstract

A three-dimensional surround scanning device and a method thereof are described, which are adopted to perform surround scanning on a scene area, so as to construct a three-dimensional model. The device includes an image acquisition element, a first moving mechanism, a range acquisition element, and a controller. The controller controls the image acquisition element, the range acquisition element, and the first moving mechanism to perform three-dimensional image acquisition, so as to obtain a two-dimensional image covering the scene area, depth information with three-dimensional coordinates, and corresponding position signals. The controller rearranges and combines the two-dimensional image, position signals, and depth information, so as to construct the three-dimensional model.
