| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 6262739 | System and method for computer modeling of 3D objects or surfaces by mesh constructions having optimal quality characteristics and dynamic resolution capabilities A system and method for the rapid creation of an optimized mesh model of a real world object, terrain or other three-dimensional surface. The mesh construction technique provides dynamic "up resolution/down resolution" mesh construction capabilities. The ... | 07/17/2001 |
| 6044170 | System and method for rapid shape digitizing and adaptive mesh generation System and method for rapid collection of data points and construction of a computer model based on a multi-resolution mesh to describe the surface contours and color of an object. The system collects data by projecting shapes of light against the object ... | 03/28/2000 |
| 5995650 | System and method for rapid shaped digitizing and adaptive mesh generation System and method for rapid collection of data points and construction of a computer model based on a multi-resolution mesh to describe the surface contours and color of an object. The system collects data by projecting shapes of light against the object ... | 11/30/1999 |
| 5991437 | Modular digital audio system having individualized functional modules A system for high accuracy calibration of a scanning system, which provides an object for calibration of a known geometry, such as a plane or a sphere. Upon that object is marked a pattern of points or geometric shapes, such as a set of equilateral triang... | 11/23/1999 |
| 5945996 | System and method for rapidly generating an optimal mesh model of a 3D object or surface A system and method for the rapid creation of a mesh model depicting a real world object, terrain or other three-dimensional surface. The system inserts points into the mesh incrementally, building the mesh point by point. Before incremental building, the... | 08/31/1999 |
| 5886702 | System and method for computer modeling of 3D objects or surfaces by mesh constructions having optimal quality characteristics and dynamic resolution capabilities A system and method for the rapid creation of an optimized mesh model of a real world object, terrain or other three-dimensional surface. The mesh construction technique provides dynamic "up resolution/down resolution" mesh construction capabilities. The ... | 03/23/1999 |
| 5870220 | Portable 3-D scanning system and method for rapid shape digitizing and adaptive mesh generation A portable 3D scanning system collects 2D-profile data of objects using a combination of a laser-stripe positioning device and a video camera which detects the images of the laser stripe reflected from the object. The scanning system includes a laser-stri... | 02/09/1999 |
