1. A system for coordinate visualization, the system comprising:
- a measuring system for acquiring three dimensional coordinate data from a target location on an object;
an imaging member that generates an image of at least a portion of said object from a vantage point whose three dimensional location is known; and
a processor which receives said three dimensional coordinate data, said image and said three dimensional location, said processor producing image data overlaying a visible marker at said target location on said image.

Abstract
A system and methods for transprojection of geometry data acquired by a coordinate measuring machine (CMM). The CMM acquires geometry data corresponding to 3D coordinate measurements collected by a measuring probe that are transformed into scaled 2D data that is transprojected upon various digital object image views captured by a camera. The transprojection process can utilize stored image and coordinate information or perform live transprojection viewing capabilities in both still image and video modes.

34. A method for displaying geometry and imaging information, the method comprising:
-
acquiring at least one image of at least a portion of a target area;
mapping points of the image to corresponding points in the target area;
acquiring geometry information for an object in the target area;
performing a transformation operation to map the geometry information of the object to the image; and
displaying the image overlaid with the geometry information. - View Dependent Claims (35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56)

57. A system for coordinate acquisition and visualization, the system comprising:
-
an arm member having a probe member attached thereto, the arm member positioned with respect to a target area such that the probe member acquires coordinate information from the target area;
an imaging member configured to generate at least one image of at least a portion of the target area; and
a controller configured to receive the coordinate information and the at least one image whereupon the controller adjusts and overlays the coordinate information upon the at least one image to reflect the position and orientation of the coordinate information in the context of the image. - View Dependent Claims (58, 59)
