1. A method for detecting a movable object in a location, when scanning a rigid object in the location by means of a 3D scanner for generating a virtual 3D model of the rigid object, wherein the method comprises:

  • providing a first 3D representation of at least part of a surface by scanning at least part of the location;

    providing a second 3D representation of at least part of the surface by scanning at least part of the location;

    determining for the first 3D representation a first excluded volume in space where no surface can be present;

    determining for the second 3D representation a second excluded volume in space where no surface can be present;

    if a portion of the surface in the first 3D representation is located in space in the second excluded volume, the portion of the surface in the first 3D representation is disregarded in the generation of the virtual 3D model, and/orif a portion of the surface in the second 3D representation is located in space in the first excluded volume, the portion of the surface in the second 3D representation is disregarded in the generation of the virtual 3D model.
