Abstract

Large scale measuring systems, i.e. measuring systems characterized by a measurement volume from some meters up to some hundreds of meters, are gaining importance in industry to check large parts or track the position of automated vehicles. In contrast with classical monolithic measuring systems, modern large scale measuring systems are constituted by constellations of sensors able to track the position of objects by triangulation or trilateration. This new design allows a greater system flexibility, scalability, and portability, together with a general reduction of costs. The MScMS-II is a large scale measuring system based on infrared triangulation. It has been designed to guarantee the maximum flexibility and reconfigurability, so every set-up procedure has been reduced as much as possible, so that its deployment and calibration requires a short time. However, its accuracy could benefit of a more complete volumetric calibration through the definition of a model of the volumetric error to be compensated. In this paper a self-calibration procedure based on a simple one-dimensional uncalibrated artifact is proposed to define a volumetric error model of the MScMS-II. Self-calibration can be performed in short time and can improve system performance by reducing systematic errors. Experimental results complete the work.
