1. A method of scanning an object, said method comprising the steps of: providing a digitizer adapter having at least three dots disposed along a target surface thereof, the at least three dots and the target being colored so as to have a permanent high contrast relative to the target surface, wherein the digitizer adapter includes a ferrous spherical mounting member disposed a predetermined distance from its center point to each of the at least three dots; securing the adapter along an outer surface of the object; creating a plurality of digital images of the object; extracting the coordinates of the at least three dots from the image using photogrammetry; calculating the coordinates of the center point of the ferrous spherical mounting member based on the coordinates of the at least three dots; generating surface data by scanning the outer surface of the object and the ferrous spherical mounting member; calculating the coordinates of the center point of the ferrous spherical mounting member based on at least three points from the surface data of the ferrous spherical mounting member; and aligning the center point coordinates to facilitate combining the data from the photogrammetric and surface scan processes.
