A 3D recording device (1) is provided including an image recording device (2), a distance measuring device (3), and an output unit (5). An image processing device (4) is used to calculate, for a sequence (8) of images (9, 10) recorded in different poses (15, 16, 17), groups (29, 30, 31, 32) of image elements (18, 19, 20, 21, 25, 26, 27, 28) corresponding to each other and to determine for each group (29, 30, 31, 32) a three-dimensional position indication (48, 49, 50) and to scale the three-dimensional position indication (48, 49, 50) with the aid of distance information (42) measured by the distance measuring device (3).
A 3D recording device (1) comprising:
A method for producing a 3D image, comprising recording a sequence (8) of at least two images (9, 10) of a scene (11) using an image-recording device (2) and identifying at least one group (29, 30, 31, 32) of mutually corresponding image constituents (18, 19, 20, 21, 25, 26, 27, 28) in the recorded images (9, 10), calculating at least one three-dimensional position specification (50) relating to the at least one group (29, 30, 31, 32) of mutually corresponding image constituents (18, 19, 20, 21, 25, 26, 27, 28) in an image-processing device (4), calculating at least one recording pose (15, 16, 17) of the image-recording device (2) at a recording time from a respective image position (59, 60) of the image constituents (18, 19, 20, 21, 25, 26, 27, 28) from the at least one group (29, 30, 31, 32) in the images (9, 10) of the sequence (8), measuring at least one item of distance information (42) in relation to the scene (11) using a rangefinder (3), and then scaling (46) the three-dimensional position specification using the measured distance information (42), and calculating further three-dimensional distance information associated with the at least one group (29, 30, 31, 32) of mutually corresponding image constituents (18, 19, 20, 21, 25, 26, 27, 28) for which no distance measurement is available, in at least one of an extrapolation or interpolation method (47) from the measured distance information (42) and the calculated at least one three-dimensional position specification (50).
