Proposal of effective dimensions measurement on the inertial basis

Abstract

The work presents automated methods of dimensions measurement, extending the known horizont of used approach to measuring by the draft of a new unused method. a method described in the paper is based on the principle of self-localization of inertial sensors that are able to describe the actual value of angular velocity and acceleration in the direction of each coordinate axis. Prerequisite accuracy of these measurements is a clear definition of zero position in space and taking into account a wide range of ambient effects. The method should allows to measure dimensions of objects of complex shape with high accuracy even in places where usage of conventional methods is not always possible. The contribution also describes principles of inertial navigation systems and MEMS technology, which significantly reduces the cost of mentioned advanced technologies.
