Abstract

A system for 3-dimensional measurement of structures like buildings, pressure vessels and ships is presented. Two electric transits, which are latest surveying instruments, are controlled with a computer in order to scan the target surface of the object. An image processing unit relieves the operator of the burden of manual adjusting for forcusing the sighting tele-scope.
