Lab for optical 3D metrology

The Lab for optical 3D metrology focusses on the supply of a well-equipped (state-of-the-art hardware and software) facility for application-based education and research. It covers a working area of 147m² and therefore offers an open space for the development, analyses and acquisition of different static and dynamic processes of different specialisations.

The application-based education and research e.g. focusses on:

  • Acquisition, Modelling and Evaluation of geometric characteristics of wind turbines during operation
  • Development of measurement techniques and algorithms for 3D metrology and autonomous missions in underwater photogrammetry
  • Development of measurement techniques and algorithms in medical technology and industrial applications
  • Analyses, evaluation and accuracy assessment of measurement systems and methods for standard and large-volume applications
  • 3D acquisition and modelling in cultural heritage (see Lab for photogrammetry)

The lab hosts equipment for high-speed-measurements, online-tracking systems, scanning systems (fringe projection, hand-held) as well as evaluation facilities for optical 3D metrology systems based on VDI/VDE 2634. A large-volume test facility for photogrammetry, laserscanning and lasertracking is applied to the building structure in order to allow for system tests in large-volume applications.
