METHOD OF IMAGING AN OBJECT FOR TRACKING AND DOCUMENTATION IN TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE

In a method of operating a dimensioning system with a plurality of laser scanners, with processor means controlling the operations of the scanners and processing the scanner signals, and further with memory means to store data delivered by the processor means, the data acquired by the dimensioning system in its regular mode of operation are used to construct a three-dimensional model of surface points of the object including spatial coordinates and image intensity for each surface point. The three-dimensional model is stored in the memory means. Based on the three-dimensional model, two-dimensional images from any desired viewing angle that was exposed to the scanner rays can be produced on demand to document the appearance of the object at the time the scan was taken. 在操作尺寸标注系统的方法中，由尺寸标注系统在它的常规运行模式中所获取的数据被用来构建物体的表面点的三维模型，所述三维模型包括每个表面点的空间坐标和图像强度，其中，所述尺寸标注系统具有多个激光扫描仪、控制所述扫描仪的操作并处理扫描仪信号的处理器装置、以及用于存储由所述处理器装置传送的数据的存储装置。三维模型被存储在存储装置中。基于三维模型，可根据需要生成从暴露于扫描仪射线的任何期望的观察视角的二维图像，以对物体在执行扫描的那个时间下的外观进行存档。
