Abstract
Large objects, measuring tools with limited working volumes, and surface scanners, fixed cameras or arms that have to be repositioned to cover the job – and every repositioning needs the tool's pose, which is to say six degrees of freedom of navigation. Maria Hennes sets the constraints hard: independent of common points, no consecutive matching, able to take point measurements as well, integrable into a higher-level system, as few additional sensors as possible, and an answer in between one second and one minute. A-TOM is the Geodetic Institute's own low-cost module built to meet them, presented here with first results.
