Optical measurement systems were originally developed for industrial applications. Due to their versatility of use and “touchless“ non-invasive method of working they have also been employed for many years in the field of restoration, conservation and preservation of cultural heritage. The capabilities of a variety of optical measuring methods e.g. photogrammetry, laser triangulation and interf...

The demand for measuring equipments of automatic optical inspection has grown rapidly, because of its benefits of promoted efficiency and higher precision. Instead of manual projection measurements, measurement performance and efficiency can be obviously enhanced by the image measurement system. In this investigation, digital image processing and geometrical measurement principles have been int...

Managing the performance of large, distributed systems requires exible and scalable approaches to automating measurement navigation. Unfortunately, existing approaches achieve scalability by severely limiting exibility. Considered here is an approach that infers navigations from a dimensional representation of the measurement name space. Doing so provides exible navigation and results in dramat...
