METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MONITORING A BUILDING STRUCTURE
A system for monitoring a building structure is described. The system comprises a laser source which emits an infrared radiation and an interferometric arrangement which divides the radiation into an object beam and a reference beam. The object beam irradiates the building structure and is scattered by it, while the reference beam interferes with the scattered object beam so as to create a hologram of the building. The system also comprises a sensor which detects a sequence of holograms and a processing unit which reconstructs the evolution in time of deformations or displacements of the building by numerically processing the sequence of holograms. The system—being based on digital holography—offers various advantages compared to known monitoring techniques, for example techniques which make use of seismometers (possibility of remote monitoring, substantial space-time continuity of the monitoring, capacity for detecting a wider range of deformations and displacements).
AUTOMATIC LOCATING OF TARGET MARKS
A target reflector search device. This device comprises an emitting unit for emitting an emission fan, a motorized device for moving the emission fan over a spatial region, and a receiving unit for reflected portions of the emission fan within a fan-shaped acquisition region, and a locating unit for determining a location of the reflection. An optoelectronic detector of the receiving unit is formed as a position-resolving optoelectronic detector having a linear arrangement of a plurality of pixels, each formed as an SPAD array, and the receiving unit comprises an optical system having an imaging fixed-focus optical unit, wherein the optical system and the optoelectronic detector are arranged and configured in such a way that portions of the optical radiation reflected from a point in the acquisition region are expanded on the sensitivity surface of the optoelectronic detector in such a way that blurry imaging takes place.
DEVICE FOR CALIBRATING LASER LEVEL
A device for calibrating a laser level includes a base platform, a target, and an image recognition device. The base platform is configured to support the laser level that is to be mounted on the base platform at a first position. The target is arranged at a second position of the base platform and configured to receive a laser. The image recognition device is configured to obtain images of lasers projected on the target before and after the laser level rotates a first angle, determine, based on an image recognition result of the images, positions of the lasers emitted by the laser level to determine a deviation distance, and determine whether the laser level needs to be calibrated based on the deviation distance. The deviation distance is determined by position data of the first position and the second position, and the first angle.
Method and system for calibrating laser level
A method for calibrating a laser level. includes arranging the laser level and a detector on a same horizontal plane to cause the laser level to be at a detected position, setting the laser level to be in a dot-sweep mode or a fan-sweep mode, when the detector detects the first laser beam for calibration emitted by the laser level, generating first position information by the detector, when the laser level rotates to a first rotation angle, rotating a laser projection direction of the laser level relative to the laser level along the opposite direction by a first rotation angle to cause the detector to detect the second laser beam for calibration emitted by the laser level to generate second position information, and determining whether the laser level needs to be calibrated based on the first position information and the second position information.
Self-leveling system for rotating laser systems
A self-leveling laser transmitter is provided. The laser transmitter comprises a rotation head and an accelerometer mounted on the rotation head. An acceleration signal is received from the accelerometer and one or more tilt adjustment signals for adjusting a tilt of the rotation head to a leveled orientation are generated based on the acceleration signal. One or more actuators adjust the tilt of the rotation head based on the one or more tilt adjustment signals.
Retroreflector comprising fisheye lens
A reflector arrangement for position determination and/or marking of target points, comprising a retroreflector and a first sensor arrangement, by means of which the orientation measurement radiation passing through the retroreflector is acquirable. The first sensor arrangement comprises a first optical assembly providing a fisheye lens, and a first sensor, wherein the retroreflector and the first sensor arrangement are arranged in such a way that orientation measurement radiation passing through the retroreflector is projectable onto the detection surface of the first sensor by means of the first optical assembly.
Spraying support system for working machine
