The thesis presents an analysis of measurement uncertainty of a three-dimensional scanner Photoneo PhoXi 3D. Awareness of the measurement uncertainty is important as the scanner can also be used as a measuring system. We present an electromechanical system which is utilized to conduct necessary measurements. We also describe individual elements of the system, including software parts.
For the analysis, we propose a process with linear movements of the scanner and usage of a linear displacement encoder as a reference measuring instrument. The analysis of the measurement uncertainty is based on the usage of a calibration pattern, chessboard, to determine locations of characteristic points in a point cloud.
Based on the results of our analysis we can conclude that the measurement uncertainty rises when the scanner approaches the end of its measurement range. We also observe the scattering of measurements around their mean value. Despite that, the measurement uncertainty remains within the specified limits of the scanner's depth resolution.
