In a method for optically scanning and measuring an environment, a laser scanner emits an emission light beam, receives a reception light beam reflected from an object, and determines for a multiplicity of measurement points at least the distance from the object to a center of the laser scanner, and in which at least some of the measurement points are displayed on a display device, the measurement points are assigned to pixels of a plane and their distances to the plane are assigned to respective depths, at least the pixels between the pixels which are assigned to the measurement points are filled with values in dependence on the depth, by selecting pixels, by searching for pixels which are adjacent to the selected pixels and have a smaller depth, and by filling the selected pixels depending on the values of the adjacent pixels and on their depths.

1. A method for optically scanning and measuring the method comprising: emitting, by a light emitter of a laser scanner, an emission light beam,receiving, by a light receiver, a reception light beam, wherein a reflection light beam of the emission light beam is reflected from an object, anddetermining, by a control and evaluation device for measurement points projected on a plane corresponding to a screen, at least the distance from the object to a center of the laser scanner, wherein at least some measurement points are displayed on a display device, whereinthe measurement points are assigned to pixels of the plane, and the pixels which are assigned to the measurement points are filled with values, whereinfor, a depth being a field element of an auxiliary field is assigned to each pixel, whereinevery measurement point to be displayed is assigned to the pixel which corresponds to the projection of the measurement point on the plane, said pixel gets the value of the assigned measurement point, and the depth being assigned to the pixel having the value of the assigned measurement point is set to the depth corresponding to the distance of the assigned measurement point to the plane,pixels are selected which have to be filled are filled in dependence on the values of the adjacent pixels and on their depths,for each of the selected pixels, the adjacent pixels are looked for consecutively, wherein pixels are skipped which are not yet filled and/or the depth of which is bigger than the depth of the selected pixel,after the adjacent pixels to the selected pixel have been found, which adjacent pixels are already filled and the depths of which are smaller than the depth of the selected pixel, it is checked whether the amount of the difference between their depths is below a threshold value for the depth,if the amount of the difference between the depths of the adjacent pixels which have been found is below a threshold value for the depth, the selected pixel is filled with the value which is interpolated between the values of the adjacent pixels, and that the depth of the selected pixel is set to the depth, which is interpolated between the depths of the adjacent pixels which have been found. 2. The method according to claim 1, a selected pixel, which is already filled, remains unvaried. 3. The method according to claim 1, if an adjacent pixel, which is already filled and the depth of which is smaller than the depth of the selected pixel, is found in any of the searched directions, a change to the direction, in which it has not yet been searched for, takes place. 4. The method according to claim 1, if the amount of the difference between the depths of the adjacent pixels which have been found, is above a threshold value for the depth, the selected pixel is filled with the value of the adjacent pixel having the bigger depth, and that the depth of the selected pixel is set to the depth of the adjacent pixel having the bigger depth. 5. The method according to claim 1, the pixels to be selected are selected in parallel in view of time and/or that filling takes place at least twice. 6. A device for implementing a method according to claim 1, with a laser scanner, which has a light emitter that includes a rotating mirror, a light receiver and a control and evaluation device, and with a display device, characterized in that the display device has a graphic card which is connected to the control and evaluation device and a screen, wherein the graphic card serves for selecting pixels, for searching adjacent pixels to the selected pixels, such adjacent pixels having a smaller depth and for filling the selected pixels in dependence on the values of the adjacent pixels and on their depths.
