发明名称 Method and apparatus for calibrating a noncontact gauging sensor with respect to an external coordinate system
摘要 The sensor array is positioned at a vantage point to detect and calibrate its reference frame to the external reference frame demarcated by light-emitting reference indicia. The sensor array encompasses a wide view calibration field and provides data indicating the spatial position of light sources placed within the calibration field. A tetrahedron framework with light-emitting diodes at the vertices serves as a portable reference target that is placed in front of the feature sensor to be calibrated. The sensor array reads and calibrates the position of the light-emitting diodes at the vertices while the structured light of the feature sensor is projected onto the framework of the reference target. The structured light intersects with and reflects from the reference target, providing the feature sensor with positional and orientation data. These data are correlated to map the coordinate system of the feature sensor to the coordinate system of the external reference frame. A computer-generated virtual image display compares desired and actual sensor positions through a real time feedback system allowing the user to properly position the feature sensor without trial and error.
