Apparatus (10) for measuring large objects and in particular for measuring cargo to be loaded on a shipping vessel for transportation. The apparatus (10) includes scanner assemblies (11) arranged to scan the cargo (22). Each scanner assembly (11) has a range finder adapted to calculate the distance and angle to a plurality of points on the surface of the cargo (22). Control means (16, 17) connected to each scanner assembly (11) receive the distance and angle calculations therefrom and are adapted to determine the dimensional data (29) of the cargo and to display the data (29) and a three dimensional image (28) of the cargo (22) to an operator. |
