Abstract
A calibration system for a three-dimensional measurement system having a calibration standard assembly positioned in a large scale three-dimensional volumetric area. The calibration standard assembly has a stable base portion and a plurality of structural members disposed on the stable base portion. The calibration standard assembly has a plurality of target position nests coupled to the plurality of structural members. Each target position nest has a known three-dimensional location determined with a coordinate measuring device and a plurality of retroreflective targets. The calibration standard assembly has a plurality of calibration targets each having a same diameter as a diameter of each of the retroreflective targets. The calibration system has a three-dimensional measurement system for measuring locations of the plurality of calibration targets. The plurality of calibration targets are three-dimensional standards having known three-dimensional locations that are used in calibration of the three-dimensional measurement system.
