To address the challenge of measuring the plate wall offset at the U-shaped groove positions after assembling large cylindrical shell arc segments, this paper proposes a measurement method based on multi-line-structured light vision sensors. The sensor is designed and calibrated to collect U-shaped groove workpiece images containing multiple laser stripes. The central points of the laser stripes are extracted and matched to their corresponding light plane equations to obtain local point cloud data of the measured positions. Subsequently, point cloud data from the plate wall regions on both sides of the groove are separated, and the plate wall offset is calculated using the local distance computation method between planes in space. The experimental results demonstrate that, when measuring a standard sphere with a diameter of 30 mm from multiple angles, the measurement uncertainty is ±0.015 mm within a 95% confidence interval. Within a measurement range of 155 mm × 220 mm × 80 mm, using articulated arm measurements as reference values, the plate wall offset measurement uncertainty of the multi-line-structured light vision sensor is ±0.013 mm within a 95% confidence interval, showing close agreement with reference values.

The articulated laser sensor is a new kind of trans-scale and non-contact measurement instrument in regular-size space and industrial applications. These sensors overcome many deficiencies and application limitations of traditional measurement methods. The articulated laser sensor consists of two articulated laser sensing modules, and each module is made up of two rotary tables and one collimated laser. The three axes represent a non-orthogonal shaft architecture. The calibration method of system parameters for traditional instruments is no longer suitable. A novel high-accuracy calibration method of an articulated laser sensor for trans-scale 3D measurement is proposed. Based on perspective projection models and image processing techniques, the calibration method of the laser beam is the key innovative aspect of this study and is introduced in detail. The experimental results show that a maximum distance error of 0.05 mm was detected with the articulated laser sensor. We demonstrate that the proposed high-accuracy calibration method is feasible and effective, particularly for the calibration of laser beams. Full article

A technique for intrinsic and extrinsic calibration of a laser triangulation sensor (LTS) integrated in an articulated arm coordinate measuring machine (AACMM) is presented in this paper. After applying a novel approach to the AACMM kinematic parameter identification problem, by means of a single calibration gauge object, a one-step calibration method to obtain both intrinsic―laser plane, CCD sensor and camera geometry―and extrinsic parameters related to the AACMM main frame has been developed. This allows the integration of LTS and AACMM mathematical models without the need of additional optimization methods after the prior sensor calibration, usually done in a coordinate measuring machine (CMM) before the assembly of the sensor in the arm. The experimental tests results for accuracy and repeatability show the suitable performance of this technique, resulting in a reliable, quick and friendly calibration method for the AACMM final user. The presented method is also valid for sensor integration in robot arms and CMMs. Full article
