Abstract:
A device for position determination of measuring points of a measuring object, the device comprising:a stationary support defining a reference system; a measuring arm having a proximal end mounted to said stationary support and fixed with respect to said reference system; reference measuring means for detecting, at a reference measuring frequency, a position of a distal end of said measuring arm relative to said reference system; at least two image sensors mounted to said distal end of said measuring arm, said image sensors generating recorded images of the measuring object at a recording frequency for detecting positions of the measuring points relative to said image sensors and relative to said distal end of said measuring arm; and a processing means connected to said reference measuring means and connected to said image sensors for determining, at a processing frequency, positions of the measuring points relative to said reference system from said recorded images, wherein said processing frequency is greater than or equal to said recording frequency and said reference measuring frequency, for real time processing.
