A System and Method for Measuring and Mapping a Surface Relative to a Reference

摘要

Abstract A system arranged for measuring the displacement of a surface in a material handling system such as a crusher, transfer chute or other material handling structure relative to a base reference in a material handling system such as a crusher, transfer chute or other material handling structure, thereof comprising scanning means to generate point cloud data of the surface relative to a reference point to define a three-dimensional image of the surface; storage means to store base reference data in respect of the base reference; and processing means to process the point cloud data and the base reference data to determine the relative displacement of the surface with respect to the base reference; wherein the processing means comprises (i) a referencing means to orientate the point cloud data relative to key reference data of the base surface and transforming the point cloud data and the base reference data into a common co-ordinate system, and (ii) displacement processing means to calculate the displacement between the surface and the base reference using both sets of data in the co-ordinate system. -55-7 -67 77 ] -69 Figure 1
