Abstract
A method of measuring the perimeter of a swimming pool has been developed. First, a laser measurement device with a rotary motor is placed on a tripod. Next, the device and tripod are located and leveled the laser measurement in an empty swimming pool and the scan sequence is initiated. The laser measurement device is calibrated and then begins collecting a data measurement of the distance from the side of the swimming pool to the laser measurement device. The laser measurement device is rotated laterally at a defined angle to a new position using the rotary motor and the process of collecting a new data measurement is repeated until the laser measurement device has rotated 360°.
