MEASURING DEVICE FOR NONCONTACT MEASUREMENT OF DISTANCES TO A TARGET OBJECT
First Claim
1. A measuring device for a noncontact measurement of distances on a target object, the measuring device comprising:
- a housing;
a distance measurer situated in the housing and utilizing an optical measuring beam, with aid of which a distance between a reference point and at least one measuring point on the target object is measurable without contact;
a photoelectric image acquirer situated in the housing, having a viewfinder and camera lens as well as an image path connecting the viewfinder and the camera lens for detecting target points of the target object;
an image processor for creating a photoelectric image of the target object; and
a controller capable of computation, the photoelectric image of the image processor being displayable with the aid of the controller,the image processor designed to define at least a number of target points as a plurality of pixels in exactly one single image of the photoelectric image,the controller designed to allocate the distance of the reference point to the measuring point to at least one of the pixels and to make the allocation available for further processing.

Abstract
A measuring device, having: a housing; a distance measuring unit situated in the housing uses an optical measuring beam, with the aid of which the distance between a reference point and at least one measuring point on a target object is measurable without contact; a photoelectric image acquisition unit situated in the housing having a viewfinder and camera lens situated in the housing as well as an image path connecting them for detecting target points of the target object, an image processing unit and a control and computation unit with the aid of which the image of the image processing unit is displayable. The image processing unit defines target points pixels in exactly one single photoelectric image, the control and computation unit allocating the distance of the reference point to the measuring point to at least one of the pixels, the allocation available for further processing.

20. A method for noncontact measurement of distances on a target object comprising the steps:
-
measuring in a noncontact fashion a distance between a reference point and at least one measuring point on the target object; acquiring a photoelectric image of the target object; displaying the photoelectric image; defining at least a number of target points as a plurality of pixels in exactly one single photoelectric image; and allocating the distance of the reference point to the measuring point to at least one of the pixels and making available the allocation for further processing. - View Dependent Claims (21, 23, 24, 25, 26)

22. The method as recited in claim 22 wherein from at least one reference measure, including a focal length of a viewfinder lens and camera lens and/or a pixel variable, an image scale is determined at least approximately with aid of which the distance measure is to be allocated to the pixel distance.
