Abstract

A method for optically scanning and measuring a scene by a three-dimensional (3D) measurement device in which multiple scans are generated to then be registered in a joint coordinate system of the scene. At first at least one cluster is generated from at least one scan, further scans are registered for test purposes in the coordinate system of the cluster, if specified quality criteria are fulfilled and the generated clusters are then joined, for which purpose clusters are selected, registered for test purposes and registering is confirmed if appropriate, wherein the clusters to be joined are visualized with an optional possibility for the user to intervene, for supporting the selection of clusters.
