Method and system are provided which permits the very precise integration of high density data scans obtained from different part orientations through the use of Horn's method. The data may be obtained from a laser scanner or other methods for obtaining high density data such as Moire interferometry...http://www.google.com.au/patents/US5414647?utm_source=gb-gplus-sharePatent US5414647 - Non-contact method and system for building CAD models by integrating high density data scans
