Geodetic

Benefits Photogrammetry offers users a number of attractive and unique advantages over conventional measurement techniques.

High accuracy	The single camera E3 system is capable of producing accuracies of the order of 1:60,000 of the object size. The single camera V-STARS/S system is capable of producing accuracies of the order of 1:120,000 of the object size. (0.08mm on a 10m object). The dual camera V-STARS/M system is capable of producing accuracies of the order of 1:60,000 of the object size. (0.17mm on a 10m object)

Non-contact	The measurement process is totally non-contact. This makes it ideal to measure delicate items that deform when touched.

Fast results	Results are typically available within minutes of completing the object photography with single camera (V-STARS/S). In the two camera on-line system (V-STARS/M) results are available instantly.

Flexibility	The system is routinely used in a wide range of applications. It is suited to part inspection, deformation measurement or even part adjustment.

Portable	The entire system is battery operated and hence is highly portable. The system can be taken to even the remotest places. One "size-wise" carry on case and a laptop computer is all the equipment needed to complete a measurement. This makes it ideal to complete measurements at the supplier or customer site.

Minimal temperature effect	As the photography is completed in less than 10-15 minutes the effect of temperature differential between the start and end of measurement is greatly minimized.

Immune to vibration	V-STARS works in unstable environments. This includes vibrating or unstable floors, man lifts, cranes and ladders. Additionally the object itself can be vibrating or moving during the measurement without affecting the results.

Versatile in confined spaces	The system is small enough to operate in even the most challenging line of sight environments.

High data rates	The system lends itself well to high point data requirements. It is capable of measuring thousands of points in the same amount of time it would take to measure ten.

Thermal vacuum chamber	With I-CAN, GSI's state-of-the art INCA cameras can now operate in thermal vacuum environments while maintaining the high accuracy of the INCA digital camera and V-STARS system.

Target projection operation	GSI has developed a target projection system that can be used to measure thousands of points on a surface without applying a single target. The system is suited to rapid surface measurement for inspection or adjustment purposes. Refer to PRO-SPOT in the product section for more information.

Proven track record	GSI has established itself as the premier manufacturer of measurement systems for aerospace, automotive, and antenna manufacturing.
