Three-dimensional measurement has
achieved a high level of satisfaction in limited fields. Nevertheless, if the
measuring object includes complex parts, unmeasurable area exists for
occlusions of the part on its surface in many cases. In order to reduce the
unmeasurable area, we developed a measuring system using a CCD camera and 3D
magnetic sensors. The system enables a separated free scanning of a CCD camera and
a laser-slit using the 3D magnetic sensors. Many numbers of views of each model
from different orientations can be taken on measuring the configuration between
a CCD camera and a laser-slit simultaneously. The information of different
views is combined to reconstruct the 3D object on a computer display. Experimental
results show the feasibility of our system.
