Abstract

We present a system to measure 3-dimensional coordinates of huge structures like ships, buildings and oil tanks. Two important units are a laser spot projector and a laser spot tracker. Employing a tactful image processing, our system has some features :e.g. compactness, cost, accuracy and robustness to hazardous emvironments.
