Abstract

A device and a method for non-contact recording of spatial coordinates of a surface includes a sensor head and a controller connected to the sensor head. The sensor head is designed as a portable hand-held device, a projector and two cameras. The controller is also designed as a portable device, with an electrochemical energy source housed in the controller or in the sensor head for power supply to the sensor head and the controller and no cable connection of the sensor head or the controller is provided to further stationary components of the device.
