Abstract:
1. A method of automatically leveling a multitude of existing topographic irregularities including existing hills and existing dales in a surface area of a structural component, said method comprising the following steps: a) optically scanning said multitude of existing topographic irregularities to provide a total topographic volume information indicative of a total volume of said multitude of existing topographic irregularities and a hill volume information indicative of a hill volume of said existing hills, b) feeding said total topographic volume information and said hill volume information to a central processing unit, c) in said central processing unit, calculating a previously unknown dale volume of said existing dales by deducting said hill volume information from said total topographic volume information, d) generating, based on said dale volume, a dosing control signal, e) in response to and dependent on said dosing control signal, providing a dosed volume of a filler material sufficient for filling said existing dales having said previously unknown dale volume, and f) filling in and leveling said existing dales with said dosed volume of said filler material.
