On-site accuracy evaluation of laser tracking attitude measurement system

Abstract

In this study, an on-site attitude accuracy evaluation method based on parallel mechanism model and indirect traceability from length to angle is proposed. Firstly, the mathematical model is established. Through orthogonal experimental design, quantitative analysis shows that the ranging accuracy and control layout have a significant impact on the accuracy of the evaluation system. On this basis, the layout of control field is optimized by genetic algorithm. Finally, the practicability of the evaluation method is verified by experiments. The results show that the yaw and pitch accuracy of the method are 0.008°and 0.007°respectively in the range of −25°to 25°within the working distance of 8 m. This method can accurately and effectively evaluate the attitude angle information of the measurement system and is adapted to various on-site environments. The research provides an innovative idea which can be used to ensure the strict requirements of attitude angle measurement in fields such as intelligent manufacturing and in situ processing.
