Method for visually representing scanning data

A method for visually representing scanning data, the method comprising:

• recording scanning data having a multiplicity of individual measurement data, the scanning data being recorded with a measurement device having a scanning functionality for recording object surfaces using measurement radiation, wherein the individual measurement data in each case have at least one measurement value linked to a respective measurement direction, including in each case a distance measurement value, measured by way of the measurement radiation, from a surface point that is located in the measurement direction,
• wherein:
• all measurement directions start from a common measurement reference point, and
• the measurement directions are different from one another such that a predetermined scanning region with a predetermined scanning resolution is covered, and
• the representation of the scanning data is effected using an image map with a number of map points that is dependent on a predetermined display resolution;
• and
• representing the scanning data by way of an assignment rule for assigning measurement value to map point, wherein the assignment of the measurement value is effected immediately on the basis of the respective measurement direction hat is linked to the measurement value.

A measurement system having a scanning functionality, the method comprising:

• a control unit configured to cause the recording of scanning data having a multiplicity of individual measurement data, the scanning data being recorded with a measurement device of the control unit having a scanning functionality for recording object surfaces using measurement radiation, wherein the individual measurement data in each case have at least one measurement value linked to a respective measurement direction, including in each case a distance measurement value, measured by way of the measurement radiation, from a surface point that is located in the measurement direction,
• wherein:
• all measurement directions start from a common measurement reference point, and
• the measurement directions are different from one another such that a predetermined scanning region with a predetermined scanning resolution is covered, and
• an evaluation unit which generates a representation of scanning data is effected using an image map with a number of map points that is dependent on a predetermined display resolution.
