Abstract: This paper describes a prototype of the authors own design used to measure the relative inclinations of engineering objects and inanimate nature phenomena. A set of measurements can be used to determine ground surface deformation caused by mining activities or due to influences of hydro-geological, geotechnical or construction. The instrument was built with elements of the optoelectronic technique. Fiber optic, CCD camera and semiconductor laser are the basic building blocks of the device. The elaborated device runs on a Central Registration and Data Processing (CRP D) System. The deflection of freely suspended fiber are recorded by a CCD camera and next are transmitted to an external recorder (eg. notebook). Natural light or laser light was introduced into the fiber. The length of the fiber and the optical construction affects the measuring range of the device. The accuracy of instruments depends on: method of fiber suspension, method of fiber attenuation fluctuations, resolution CCD camera and identification method of the image laser spot recorded. Experiments have shown that the built prototype device is able to obtain a submillimetre accuracy. |
