Description
The introduction of new portable high-precision laser scanners represents a significant advancement in metrology, enabling direct high-accuracy and non-contact measurements.
CERN surveyors are currently evaluating and developing new workflows to integrate the Leica Absolute Tracker ATS800 into measurement campaigns, particularly in highly radioactive environments, where minimising personnel exposure is a critical operational requirement.
This paper presents an assessment of the ATS800’s performance under various measurement configurations. Qualification tests were performed on different reference spheres to study the possibility of deploying large-scale survey networks with permanent targets. This work has led to the development of an innovative and automated workflow, combining AI-based automatic detection of survey network targets with measurement automation through the ATS800 software development kit. This enables autonomous data acquisition and opens new possibilities for remote survey operations using an overhead crane and automated guided vehicles.
