integrated Z+F i - CamZoller + Fröhlich is known forits outstanding laser scannersworldwide. It has always beenour goal to acquire data asfast as possible with a maximumof data-quality and aminimum of user effort.These objectives have guidedthe development of the Z+FIMAGER 5010C. The integratedcamera works very well in allenvironments. One focus is toalways provide realistic panoramas.To make the operation asuser friendly as possible, the Z+Fi-Cam is fully integrated into theZ+F IMAGER 5010C.High Dynamic Range technique(HDR)At each position, several imageswith different exposure times aretaken (called bracketing). The HDRimage is generated from an exposureseries, and therefore morelifelike than a single recorded imagewith only one exposure time.Scanning processWhile scanning the user only selectsthe Z+F i-Cam. No furtheradjustments have to be made.Generating color-scansThe generation of color scans isrealized within our software Z+FLaserControl. A special HDR methodhas been developed for theZ+F i-Cam. This method yields ahigh dynamic-range-image directlyfrom the input images.To colorize one panoramic laserscan,42 HDR images are generatedand stitched to a completeHDR panorama. HDR imageprocessing and colour mappingto laserscans are performed fullyautomatically for the entire projectin batch processing.photo-realistic forest image with i-Cam11
