System and method of guiding real-time inspection using 3D scanners

A method of guiding a real-time inspection using a three dimensional (3D) scanner comprising the steps of:

• (a) defining shape information of an object to be measured and a measurement element of the object which a designer intended and storing the same in a data storage unit;
• (b) outputting, at a control unit, shape inspection information and inspection guide information to a display unit using the shape information and the measurement element stored in the data storage unit;
• (c) unifying, at the control unit, shape information coordinate system stored at data storage unit and measurement coordinate system of the 3D scanner and measuring and detecting, at the control unit, shape measurement information of the object from a 3D scanner, when the 3D scanner is positioned in scanning region of an object to be measured;
• (d) judging, at the control unit, a validity of the number of data of the measurement information and numerical information of measurement elements;
• and
• (e) outputting, at the control unit, a result of the validity of the shape measurement information.

A system of guiding a real-time inspection using a three dimensional (3D) scanner comprising:

• a scanner that detects 3D shape information of an object to be measured;
• a data storage unit that stores pre-determined inspection guide information associated with inspection elements of said object;
• a control unit that compares the 3D shape information detected by the scanner with the pre-determined inspection guide information and judges validity of the 3D shape information detected by the scanner;
• and
• a display unit that displays the 3D shape information detected by the scanner, the pre-determined inspection guide information stored in the data storage unit, and a result indicating the validity of the 3D shape information.
