Wireless scanning device

A wireless scanning device for providing data for a 3D-model of an object, comprising:

• a scanning housing, comprising:
• an image detector configured for acquiring 2D-images at a first 2D-frame-rate;
• one or more processor(s) coupled to the image detector such that the 2D-images can be processed by said processor(s) to form processed data;
• a power supply unit that includes a battery;
• a wireless module coupled to said processor(s) such that the wireless module receives the processed data from said processor(s) and wirelessly transmits the processed data;
• wherein the processed data is data for a 3D-model of the object,
• wherein the scanning device is configured for being switched between two pre-defined scanning-operation-modes, wherein switching between the at least two pre-defined scanning operation-modes is based on a condition, wherein the condition is a measure of a power-level of the power supply unit in relation to a pre-defined power-level, and the power-level is an absolute measure and/or a first derivative of the power-level with respect to time, and/or a second derivative of the power-level with respect to time, wherein the pre-defined scanning-operation modes are as follows:
• a standard-mode, wherein the wireless module receives the processed data at a first data-rate defined by said processor(s);
• and
• a non-standard-mode, wherein the wireless module receives the processed data at a second data-rate defined by said processor(s),
• wherein the non-standard-mode is provided by shutting off the image detector for a specific time, whereby the second data-rate gets lower than the first data-rate, thereby defining the non-standard-mode as a wireless-throttling-mode.
