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 ...

When using terrestrial laser scanners for high quality analyses, calibrating the laser scanner is crucial due to unavoidable misconstruction of the instrument leading to systematic errors. Consequently, the development of ...

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 ...

The estimates based on laser scans of surfaces with unknown deformations are biased and not reproducible when changing the scanning geometry. While the existence of a bias is only disadvantageous at some applications, ...
