The main reflectors of radio telescopes deform due to gravitation when changing their
elevation angle. This can be analyzed by scanning the paraboloid surface with a terrestrial …

For accurate astronomic and geodetic observations based on radio telescopes, the
elevation-dependent deformation of the radio telescopes' main reflectors should be known …

Deformations of the reflectors of radio telescopes used in geodetic and astrometric VLBI
observations belong to the class of systematic error sources which affect the estimated …

When using terrestrial laser scanners for high quality analyses, calibrating the laser scanner
is crucial due to unavoidable misconstruction of the instrument leading to systematic errors …

The estimates based on laser scans of surfaces with unknown deformations are biased and
not reproducible when changing the scanning geometry. While the existence of a bias is …

Deformation analysis is one of the classical tasks in engineering geodesy. The development
of the laser scanner has changed the data acquisition as well as the analysis strategy; …

[EN] We present a method to include virtual target points from laser scanning into the point-
based rigorous deformation analysis to derive precise 3D deformation vectors. This method …

Gantry cranes load and unload containers from container ships. To ensure safety and
operation, the deflection of their main beams under load should be analyzed. This deflection …

Deformations of radio telescopes used in geodetic and astrometric very long baseline
interferometry (VLBI) observations belong to the class of systematic error sources which …

Die Erde befindet sich in einem kontinuierlichen Wandel, der aus verschiedenen
variierenden dynamischen Prozessen und einwirkenden Kräften resultiert. Die globale …
