APPARATUS, METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MEASURING LOCATIONS ON AN OBJECT

A system for monitoring survey reflectors arranged at a plurality of locations on an object, having: a camera, including: one or more light sources arranged to illuminate a field in space corresponding to at least 10% of a field of view of the camera, preferably the whole field of view; an image sensor receiving light beams from reflections of the beam by the survey reflectors and providing data; a body with an optical entry system, the image sensor located on a first side and the light source on a second side of the body; and a processing unit processing the data.

The processing unit is configured to determine locations of the survey reflectors from the image sensor data and detect movement of the survey reflectors based on a comparison of the determined locations with previously determined locations.

MARKER, METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING MARKER, AND DETECTION TARGET

A high-precision marker, which is easy to manufacture, has a base material layer, a first layer which is laminated onto one surface of the base material layer, and which is observed in a first color, and a second layer which is partially laminated onto the first layer, is observed in a second color different from the first color, and partially conceals the first layer, wherein the first layer is observable in a region in which the second layer is not laminated, and the second layer is formed by a resist material.

Target device and measuring system
11630186 · 2023-04-18 · ·

A target device, which allows a sufficient amount of reflected light to be obtained from an end portion, is provided and includes a measurement section. In the target device, a retroreflective layer in which a plurality of retroreflective elements are arranged on the entire circumference in a circumferential direction about an axis is formed on at least part of the outer peripheral surface of the measurement section.
