Abstract

See full text

The invention pertains to a method for determining at least one spatial coordinate of a measurement point of a local structure of an object, providing a mobile coordinate measuring machine, the method comprising at least placing the mobile coordinate measuring machine on a surface of the object to be measured, approaching the measurement point with a sensing head, and determining at least one spatial coordinate of the at least one measurement point, characterized by establishing a defined spatial relation between the coordinate measuring machine and the local structure wherein the defined spatial relation is established by means of a mechanical fixation of the coordinate measuring machine to the object, and/or a continuous determination of position and orientation of the coordinate measuring machine relative to the object. The invention furthermore pertains to a mobile coordinate measuring machine and a computer program product for execution of said method.
