EARTH MOVING MACHINE, RANGE FINDER ARRANGEMENT AND METHOD FOR 3D SCANNING

摘要

The invention relates to a mobile earth moving machine comprising a carrier (1), at least one machine element movable relative to the carrier (1), a positioning system for determining 3D position and orientation data of the earth moving machine, at least one sensing device (14) for determining position and orientation data of the movable machine element, at least one range finder device (10) for detecting at least one object in a field of the range finder device (10) and providing point cloud output of the object, and at least one control unit (9) configured to receive and process the produced data. The range finder device (10) is a solid-state device without internal movable mechanical elements, whereby the device (10) is without internal scanning equipment. The range finder device (10) is arranged on the movable machine element and is configured to be moved together with the movable machine element.
