Assumptions of construction of linear calibration bench for geodetic distance measurement equipment

Abstract

Geodetic measurement instrumentation plays an important role in both linear and angular measurements used in land surveying, legal metrology and recently - machine building. Calibration of such equipment plays the essential role in ensuring the measurement accuracy. Most recent developments on this topic are observed in the field of non-contact distance measurement devices such as laser trackers as well as their calibration. This paper presents the assumptions for automated calibration of non-contact distance measurement instrumentation as well as preliminary design of linear test bench being developed at Vilnius Gediminas Technical University.
