Popis: This paper presents an assessment of the different methods and techniques for measuring a vehicle’s surface area, including a close-range photogrammetric system with calibrated digital cameras, a mid-range laser scanning system and an expeditious method based on a specific tape measurement. These methods are compared with respect to their task-specific accuracy related to the area measurement by means of statistical test for the detection of the significant results. An uncertainty evaluation of these techniques is performed using a standard device that was previously calibrated with a coordinate measuring machine. The assessment of the gathered data reveals a potential for reducing the time and cost associated with close-range photogrammetry for vehicle surface area measurement and digitisation.
