The Single camera V-STARS
S8 system provides the highest accuracy and portability
V-STARS S8 is a
3D coordinate measurement system that uses a single INCA3 camera
to make fast, accurate measurements.
It is portable and consists of a notebook computer, a single
high-resolution digital camera , the V-STARS software, and some
accessories.
The INCA3 in the V-STARS S8
system is used to take pictures of the measured object from
several different locations. The different camera locations
are needed to ensure all points on the object are seen from
enough geometrically diverse locations to get good intersection
angles for triangulation.
The system measures retro-reflective
targets or projected targets generated by PRO-SPOT.
Images are taken with the INCA3
camera from several locations. The images are then automatically
processed using V-STARS software.
The V-STARS S8 system is capable of measurement accuracies better than 5um
+ 5um/m (0.025mm@4m, 0.001"@160")
The single camera system is extremely portable. The entire system
(including notebook, camera and accessories) fits into two small
cases that can be hand carried aboard an airplane. So the system
can go with you anywhere in the world, and be immediately available
for work.
