A surveying instrument (11) comprises a telescope unit having imaging optics and an array of optical detector elements, orientation sensors detecting an orientation of the telescope unit, rotation drives for rotating the telescope unit about a horizontal and a vertical axis, a controllable distance-measuring unit, and a processing unit. The processing unit comprises a memory storing instructions and calibration data for relating the location of each optical detector element to a sighting direction and a processor for: obtaining target region data; obtaining projection surface data (133) representing a projection surface (135), acquiring a set of pixel data representing a two-dimensional image of a target region, transforming the set of pixel data to a set of projected image data representing a projection of the image to the projection surface using the calibration data, and storing the projected image data as surveying data.

What is claimed is: 1. A surveying instrument comprising:a distance-measuring unit to produce distance data representing a distance between the distance-measuring unit and an object to be surveyed along a measuring direction of the distance measuring unit, the distance-measuring unit being mounted for rotation about a horizontal and a vertical axis;orientation sensors to produce orientation data representing an orientation of the distance-measuring unit about the horizontal and vertical axes;a telescope unit to generate image data pertaining to a two-dimensional image of the object, the telescope unit having a defined spatial relation with respect to the distance-measuring unit; anda processing unit configured to:control the telescope unit to produce image data;control the distance-measuring unit to produce distance data for at least three different locations at the object, the distance data being received by the processing unit together with corresponding orientation data;obtain surface data representing a surface defined by the distance data and orientation data associated with the at least three different locations at the object; andtransform the image data into projected image data representing a projection of the image to the surface based on the surface data.
