Abstract The field of Large-Scale Metrology has been studied extensively for many decades
and represents the combination and competition of topics as diverse as geodesy and …

The verification and validation of engineering designs are of primary importance as they
directly influence production performance and ultimately define product functionality and …

Basic work holding devices (eg vices), fixtures and jigs are used to construct a critical
interface between a workpiece and an end-effector. This interface performs two main …

Last decades witness an increasing interest in Large-Scale/Large-Volume Dimensional
Metrology (LSDM). Many fields of application, ranging from construction to shipbuilding and …

The field of large-scale dimensional metrology (LSM) deals with objects that have linear
dimensions ranging from tens to hundreds of meters. It has recently attracted a great deal of …

Registration of partially overlapping, featureless three-dimensional (3D) point sets with
noise is a difficult problem in the applications of large-scale metrology (LSM). Existing …

A wide range of metrology processes are involved in the manufacture of large products. In
addition to the traditional tool-setting and product-verification operations, increasingly …

Abstract Large Volume Metrology (LVM) tasks can require the concurrent use of several
measuring systems. These systems generally consist of set of sensors measuring the …

As it strongly affects the system performance in measuring 3D point coordinates, beacon
positioning represents a challenging issue in large scale metrology applications based on …

In the field of precision assembly of large & medium scale, the orientation and position
measurement system is quite demanding. In this paper a novel measuring system …
