A system for measuring the external surface profile of a component using a non-contact optical technique which scans the field of view with a spot of light through a range of angles by utilizing a rotating mirror system and which precisely determines the angular position of the spot of light during scanning.

Determination of the angular position of a laser beam

Calibration techniques are disclosed for determining the rigid-body coordinate transformation that will precisely align the coordinate frame of a laser scanner with the coordinate frames of several different motion axes. The theory and use of at least these concepts are introduced by examining how these concepts aid the construction and use of a non-contact laser scanning system.
