Abstract

See full text

In a method for the 3D digitalization of an object with variable surface a plurality of camera pictures of partial surfaces of the object (4) are taken and put together for determining the 3D coordinates of the partial surface of the object (4). Camera pictures are taken of partial surfaces of the object (4), which overlap at their edges. For each camera picture the 3D coordinates of the associated partial surface of the object (4) are determined. The 3D coordinates of these partial surfaces of the object (4) are matched and put together by a matching method. Each camera picture is divided into subframes (1.1-1.9, 2.1-2.9, 3.1-3.9) which overlap at their edges and which overlap with the subframes of adjacent camera pictures. To the subframes (1.1-3.9), the associated 3D coordinates from the camera pictures are assigned. The 3D coordinates of the subframes (1.1-3.9) are matched and put together by a matching method. The method can iteratively be carried out several times.
