System for making 3-D measurements of the surfaces of large objects.

摘要

The approximate position of the sensor (3) for measuring the shape of the object (15) is determined, and the sensor is then successively placed in fixed measurement positions for plotting the shape of the exterior of the object. The shape measurement device is precisely positioned in each measurement position in a fixed coordinate system by a positioning device (35). The coordinates of the points on the exterior of the body are transformed into the fixed coordinate system.
