Abstract

The present invention relates to a mobile apparatus (30) for scanning an object space. The mobile apparatus comprises a mobile robot (2), which has a main body (3) to which a plurality of legs (4) are movably attached, and a control device (8), by means of which the movement of the legs (4) is controllable such that the robot, in a walking posture, is movable in a surrounding area by means of pivoting movements of the legs. The mobile apparatus (30) further comprises a scanning apparatus, which has at least one camera (32) and a first multi-sampling scanner (31), and a frame (1), which is mounted on the main body (3) of the mobile robot (2) and to which the camera (32) and the first multi-sampling scanner (31) are attached. The mobile robot (2) is designed so that in a rest state it assumes an image-capture posture, in which the vertical extent of the unit formed by the frame (1) and the scanning apparatus is greater than in the walking posture and the optical axis of at least one camera (32) forms an angle with the horizontal which is in the range of -25° to +25°.

Abstract

A device and method for precise selection of a space coordinate by means of a digital image. A digital image of surface elements in a three-dimensional space and a point cloud are provided, with space coordinates allocated to the points which form the point cloud, and surface elements allocated to the points in the three-dimensional space. The surface elements in the three-dimensional space are visualised by a first display. A pixel of the digital image is tagged, and approximated space coordinates for the tagged pixel are determined, which correspond to the surface element visualised by the tagged pixel in three-dimensional space. Subsequently, a supplementary view is superimposed, which displays the points of the point cloud located within a limited three-dimensional environment of the approximate space coordinates determined for the tagged pixel in a second display. Finally, a point of the point cloud is selected in the supplementary view.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a computer-implemented method for precisely selecting a spatial coordinate by means of a digital image. In the method, a digital image of surface elements (8, 9) in a three-dimensional space and a scatter plot are provided, wherein the points which form the scatter plot are assigned spatial coordinates, and the points are assigned surface elements (8, 9) in the three-dimensional space. The surface elements (8, 9) in the three-dimensional space are visualised by a first representation (15) of the digital image. A pixel of the digital image is marked, and approximated spatial coordinates for the marked pixel are determined, which correspond to the surface element (9), visualised by the marked pixel, in the three-dimensional space. A supplementary view (16) is then displayed, which shows the points of the scatter plot (18) lying within a limited three-dimensional environment of the approximated spatial coordinates, determined for the marked pixel, in a second representation (17). Finally, a point (18) of the scatter plot shown in the supplementary view (16) is selected. The invention also relates to a corresponding device for precisely selecting a spatial coordinate by means of a digital image.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a mobile apparatus (1) for detecting an object space, and to a corresponding method. The apparatus (1) has a frame and at least one single-sampling scanner (13) mounted on the frame (single-plane laser scanner) and a multi-sampling scanner (16) mounted on the frame above the single-sampling scanner (13). Said multi-sampling scanner comprises a plurality of emission units integrated into one component, a receiver for detecting reflection radiation, and a scanning device for modifying the emission directions of the signal beams from the emission units. The apparatus (1) further has an evaluation device, which is designed to generate and to output, at least from the reflection radiation detected by the receiver and in real time, a graphical representation of those areas of the object space through which the apparatus (1) can be moved and/or was moved. The apparatus (1) finally has a data interface, which is designed to output data to a memory device for post-processing. The first plane (40) defined by the signal beams of the single-sampling scanner (13) is tilted forward from the vertical by an angle of preferably 15° with respect to the forward movement direction A. A first camera (17) pointing forwards is optionally provided. The signal beams from the multi-sampling scanner (16) generate an emission fan (42). Said emission fan (42) is symmetrical with respect to a centre axis (43), which is perpendicular to the rotation axis (44) of the multi-sampling scanner (16) and is inclined downward with respect to a horizontal plane D. The mobile apparatus (1) can detect and output in real time the position of the apparatus (1) in the object space during the detection process, including in buildings, using the multi-sampling scanner (16) and the accompanying evaluation device. The object space can be detected very precisely using a high-accuracy single-sampling scanner (13), generation of a three-dimensional model of the detected object space not being possible until post-processing. A second or a third single-sampling scanner can be arranged on the top of the frame.
