Gantry cranes load and unload containers from container ships. To ensure safety and operation, the deflection of their main beams under load should be analyzed. This deflection depends on the weight of the loaded container ...

In recent years, kinematic laser scanning has become increasingly popular because it offers many benefits compared to static laser scanning. The advantages include both saving of time in the georeferencing and a more ...

ESA's dedicated gravity field mission GOCE (Gravity field and steady-state Ocean Circulation Explorer) successfully completed its science operations in 2013 as the first Earth Explorer mission in orbit. In 2014, the fifth ...

The Gravity field and steady-state Ocean Circulation Explorer (GOCE) completed its science mission to observethe Earth’s gravity field in 2013. From the collected observations, gravity gradients and tracking ...

In terms of high precision requested deformation analyses, evaluating laser scan data requires the exact knowledge of the functional and stochastic model. If this is not given, a parameter estimation leads to insufficient ...

Nowadays, the areal deformation analysis has become an important task in engineering geodesy. Thereby, not only manmade objects are of high interest, also natural objects, like plant organs, are focused more frequently. ...

The presented work aims to give an overview of different calibration methods for magnetic field sensors, which are used for attitude determination. These methods are applicable in the field without any additional equipment. ...

Dieser Beitrag stellt einen Überblick über den Ablauf einer flächenhaften Deformationsanalyse basierend auf terrestrischen Laserscannern (TLS) dar, wobei speziell auf die Datenerfassung, Vorverarbeitung und Auswertung ...

Due to improved laser scanning technology, laser scanner based deformation analyses are presently widespread. These deformation analyses are no longer based on individual points representing the deformation of an object ...
