Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of calibration of large-size test equipment, and in particular relates to an on-site calibration system and method for a test system of multiple three-dimensional scanning networking tests. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of science and technology, the application of spatial three-dimensional coordinate measurement technology in various fields is becoming more and more extensive, especially in the field of large-scale engineering measurement. For example, in the measurement and assembly of large structural parts such as aerospace ships, spatial three-dimensional coordinate measurement technology has become one of the core technologies for obtaining spatial geometric information. Spatial three-dimensional coordinate measurement methods usually include laser trackers, laser scanners, lidar, total stations, and theodolites. These methods have limitations when facing large-scale, high-precision measurement tasks, with large data collection workload and low measurement efficiency. 3D laser scanners have unique application advantages in large-scale, high-precision measurement tasks with their high efficiency and accuracy. However, when it comes to networking tests of multiple 3D scanners, how to ensure the data consistency, accuracy and reliability between each device has become an urgent problem to be solved.

[0003] At present, multiple three-dimensional scanning networked test systems have been widely used in launch vehicles and aircraft assembly. The traceability of these networked test systems mostly adopts the method of independent inspection of a single device, and also adopts the method of on-site verification and calibration of standard ball bars or polyhedron ball bars, but these methods usually only calibrate the ranging accuracy of the instrument. Chinese invention patent document CN106403810A discloses a field calibration method for a laser tracking digital flexible assembly measurement system, which is mainly aimed at the on-site calibration of a single device. Chinese invention patent document CN101226638A discloses a calibration method and device for a multi-camera system, which performs on-site calibration of a multi-device combination system, but only calibrates the parameters of the device itself, and does not mention the calibration of the overall measurement accuracy of the global system, especially the shape and position measurement accuracy. However, in many application sites, multiple three-dimensional scanning networked test systems need to be used to measure the geometric morphology and shape and position accuracy of the large structural parts being tested. Therefore, it is necessary not only to calibrate the ranging accuracy of a single three-dimensional scanner, but also to calibrate the shape and position accuracy of multiple three-dimensional scanning networked test systems. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a field calibration system and method for multiple three-dimensional scanning network test systems to achieve high-precision and high-efficiency field calibration.
