Working Group 6.2 - Engineering Surveys for Industry and
Research
Policy issues
Engineering surveys in industry and research demand ultimate quality to be
realised in ever-shorter time slots and under spatially most limited conditions.
WG2’s main goal is to provide the specialists involved in that kind of missions
with the latest state of the art concerning:
- The use of adapted survey techniques in industry & Engineering;
- A multidisciplinary collaboration between survey engineers, civil
engineers, structural & mechanical engineers, R&D scientists - for a
better approach of complex Engineering survey problems;
- Specific algorithms, instrumentation, equipment and techniques in
Engineering Surveys;
- High precision measurements and special techniques for the large scale
metrology of big equipment or structures;
- Integration of survey & alignment sensors with actuators and/or tools
for on-line monitoring and control of a given process (dynamic systems);
- Relevant modules for the 'Optical 3d Measurement Techniques' series.

Beneficiaries
- Dialogue with manufacturers to realise competent consumer wishes
- Advising optimal instrument for each special application of a mission
catalogue
- Development of suitable planning tools for extensive scanning tasks
- Software improvements to increase variety of best-fitting objects
- Monitoring of CAD-SW behaviour under heavy scanning data load
- Expansion of application fields
- The surveyors, designers and manufacturers are waiting to acquire more
expertise in these special applications
- The group of professional which have the benefit of the results consist
of engineers dealing with quality control of large objects or structures,
scientific laboratories dealing with particle accelerators and detectors,
fusion rings, gravitational antennas, power lasers, etc., scientists and
engineers dealing with large scale metrology and accurate positioning in R&D
sectors or in industry, finally universities and manufacturers involved in
the development of special instruments.
