A method for calibrating a laser three-dimensional digitizing sensor.
First, a three-dimensional coordinator X-Y-Z is defined and a calibrating
surface is provided. Second, a first mapping table of a two-dimensional
digital image to the Z axis is established by translating the calibrating
surface along the Z axis. Subsequently, the calibrating surface rotates
along the Y axis by a predetermined angle and translates along the Z axis
to establish the second mapping table of the two-dimensional digital
image and the X axis according to the first mapping table.
