Abstract
A laser scanner includes multiple measuring beams for optical surveying of an environment. The laser scanner is configured to provide scanning with at least two different multi-beam scan patterns, in which each multi-beam scan pattern is individually activatable by a computing unit of the laser scanner.
Claims15
Laser scanner for optical surveying of an environment, comprising:
- a multibeam transmitter configured for generating multiple measuring beams defining multiple substantially instantaneous scanning axes;
- a receiver configured to detect returning parts of the multiple measuring beams;
- and
- a computing unit configured:
- for controlling the laser scanner to provide scanning of the environment by the multiple measuring beams,
- for deriving distance measuring data based on the multiple measuring beams, and
- for deriving angle data for respective emitting directions of individual measuring beams of the multiple measuring beams,
- wherein the laser scanner is configured:
- to provide scanning with at least two different multi-beam scan patterns, based on the multiple measuring beams, wherein
- each multi-beam scan pattern is individually activatable by the computing unit.
