SCANNER SYSTEM AND SCAN METHOD

Provided is a scanner system 1 includes a remote controller R including a guide light transmitting unit 12 and a laser scanner S including a guide light receiving unit 26 configured to detect the direction of the guide light transmitting unit 12 and being configured to acquire three-dimensional point cloud data. The laser scanner S includes a guide light direction detection unit 41 configured to direct the optical axis of distance-measuring light to the guide light transmitting unit 12 based on a light reception signal from the guide light receiving unit 26 and a data exclusion range setting unit 45 configured to set a data exclusion range with reference to the direction of the guide light transmitting unit 12. The laser scanner S remeasures point cloud data of the data exclusion range in accordance with a measurement permission from the remote controller R upon measuring point cloud data of an entire measurement range, excludes the point cloud data of the data exclusion range from the point cloud data of an entire measurement range, and acquires entire point cloud data by replacing the deleted data with remeasured point cloud data.
