[0030] To make the technical problems solved by the present invention, the technical solutions adopted, and the technical effects achieved more clearly, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] Example: Figures 1 to 3As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a novel three-dimensional scanning system based on structured light scanning technology and photogrammetry technology, including a gripping body, the gripping body including a frame 1, a front shell 2 arranged on one side of the frame 1, a rear shell cover 3 arranged on the other side of the frame 1, and a base 5 arranged at the bottom of the frame 1 and the rear shell cover 3. The front shell 2, the rear shell cover 3 and the base 5 are fixedly connected to the frame 1 by screws, and the base 5 is fixedly connected to the rear shell cover 3 by screws. A handshake seat 4 is installed between the front shell 2 and the rear shell cover 3, and the handshake seat 4 is fixedly connected to the front shell 2 and the rear shell cover 3 by screws. The outer wall of the grip base 4 is provided with an anti-slip texture. The entire grip body is a T-shaped structure, which can integrate multiple cameras on the grip body. The structure is small and compact, and space is cleverly reserved for installing the grip base 4 as a handle position. This design not only flattens the product, but also changes the center of gravity distribution of the product, effectively reducing the weight of the product. The design of the grip base 4 fully complies with the principles of ergonomics. The rounded shape and moderate size make it more comfortable to hold. At the same time, the anti-slip texture design maximizes comfort and functionality, making the product's holdability more prominent.

[0032] This new three-dimensional scanning system based on structured light scanning technology and photogrammetry technology also includes a first camera 6, a second camera 7, a first photogrammetry camera 8, a second photogrammetry camera 9 and a laser 12. The first camera 6 is installed in the middle position of the top of the holding body, the second camera 7 is installed at the bottom of the holding body, the first photogrammetry camera 8 is installed on the top of the holding body and is located on one side of the first camera 6, the second photogrammetry camera 9 is installed on the top of the holding body and is located on the other side of the first camera 6, and the laser 12 is installed in the middle position of the holding body. The first camera 6, the second camera 7, the first photogrammetry camera 8, the second photogrammetry camera 9 and the laser 12 are fixed to the frame 1 by screws. The first camera 6 and the second camera 7 are cleverly installed at the upper and lower positions of the frame 1 respectively to ensure an all-round shooting angle. The first photogrammetry camera 8 and the second photogrammetry camera 9 are fixed on the left and right sides of the frame 1 respectively to take pictures for photogrammetry. The coded light is projected on the surface of the workpiece to be measured by the laser 12, and the object features in each frame image of the camera are accurately identified by using the image processing algorithm.

[0033] In this embodiment, light source covers are installed on the frame 1 at the first camera 6, the first photogrammetric camera 8, and the second photogrammetric camera 9. A front shell cover 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the front shell 2 at the second camera 7. The light source cover and the front shell cover 13 adopt a unique octagonal design, which not only emphasizes the sense of range of the scanning circle, but also adds a sense of technology.

[0034] In this embodiment, a central control screen 10 is also fixedly connected to the top of the front shell 2, a central control PCB board 14 is also fixedly connected to the frame 1, a button 11 and a button PCB board 15 are installed on the handshake seat 4, and a data power PCB board 16 is installed inside the base 5. The button 11 is electrically connected to the button PCB board 15, and the button PCB board 15 and the data power PCB are electrically connected to the central control PCB board 14. The first camera 6, the second camera 7, the first photogrammetry camera 8, the second photogrammetry camera 9 and the laser 12 are electrically connected to the central control PCB board 14. The data power PCB board 16 provides power support for multiple cameras and lasers 12 and records and saves measurement data. The button 11 adopts a grid design, which makes the functional area division clearer and effectively reduces accidental touches and unclear recognition. The circle-shaped button in the middle and the start and pause marks are clearly prominent. From the perspective of practical use, users can easily understand the design and operate more conveniently.

[0035] The device meticulously integrates core components such as the chassis, lens, laser, and housing, resulting in a product that blends innovation with tradition. The design cleverly subverts the traditional "pin" ("P") structure, imbuing the product with unprecedented visual impact and functional layout. Through the subtle division of points, lines, and surfaces, we have constructed a form imbued with geometric beauty. Furthermore, the use of curved surfaces imparts soft lines to the product, creating a more visually harmonious aesthetic.

[0036] The 3D scanning system of this invention can simultaneously scan and measure a large space and small workpieces or small features within the space. The system includes the following working modes and workflows:

[0037] 1. Photogrammetry technology:

[0038] Through the 3D photogrammetry system, a high-resolution camera can be used to quickly acquire multiple 2D data of large spaces or large workpieces, and then calculate and generate 3D data of large spaces;

[0039] When the 3D photogrammetry system is working normally, the multi-line laser or infrared structured light technology is enabled at the same time to perform 3D scanning of a small part or small workpiece in a large space or a large workpiece with the handheld device;

[0040] Finally, a complete 3D scanning data of a large space will be obtained, which also includes local high-precision 3D scanning data of small workpieces or small features.

[0041] 2. Red (or blue) multi-line laser technology:

[0042] By sticking marker points on the surface of the object to be measured, combining red (or blue) multi-line laser and high-precision camera to capture the surface information of the object, and using advanced image processing algorithms, the point cloud data in ASC format can be accurately output.

[0043] 3. Infrared structured light technology:

[0044] The system projects coded light onto the surface of the workpiece being measured, uses image processing algorithms to accurately identify object features in each camera frame, performs real-time comparison, and automatically stitches the scanned data (without additional labeling). After scanning, it also outputs high-quality ASC point cloud data. By optimizing the laser emission and receiving modules, measurement accuracy and anti-interference performance are further improved.

[0045] 4. New 3D scanning system combining the above three technologies:

[0046] By combining the three technologies on the scanner, the scanner has multiple scanning modes. When facing large objects, red (or blue) multi-line laser technology and infrared structured light technology can be used to accurately scan local details to obtain high-precision data and fine features. When using the photogrammetry system to scan the entire object, the overall data can be quickly obtained. The data obtained not only includes local details but also ensures data integrity and high-efficiency scanning.

[0047] Working principle: The scanner system scans the surface of the workpiece by emitting laser. When the scanning system moves to scan the surface of the workpiece, the camera (sensor) collects the marker points and the surface information of the object, and uses the image algorithm to analyze the position of the marker points pasted on the surface of the object. Based on these real-time captured marker points, the surface information of the scanned object is collected, thereby completing the scanning and acquisition of point cloud data and outputting ASC point cloud data.

[0048] Working method: Connect the scanning system to the computer with a two-in-one (power supply and data transmission) transmission line. Scanning can be performed with or without marking points on different workpiece objects and scanning environments.

[0049] Using infrared structured light mode scanning, there is no need to attach markers to the object. Combined with a total station, a 360-degree full-scale scan can be performed directly around the object to obtain surface data and output ASC point cloud data.

[0050] When scanning with red (or blue) multi-line laser mode, it is necessary to attach marker points to the surface of the object, then perform a 360-degree full-scale scan of the object to obtain surface data and output ASC point cloud data.

[0051] Through data transmission, three-dimensional data is presented in real time on the scanning system screen and the computer screen in a 1:1 ratio.

[0052] This invention addresses the current market shortcomings of scanners with limited functionality and low efficiency in scanning large workpieces and large spaces. It can rapidly scan very large workpieces without losing the overall image while also maintaining local detail and accuracy. Scanning resolution can be flexibly adjusted within individual projects. This technology enables comprehensive, high-precision, and efficient 3D scanning of very large objects, providing valuable 3D data support for the intelligent manufacturing industry, aerospace, automotive, heavy machinery, molds, and large-scale casting workpieces, among many other fields.

[0053] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as within the scope of protection of the present invention.
