Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2023111793A1] The system (10) for monitoring displacements (Di) of points (Pi) on a surface (S) of a part (C) of an aircraft or spacecraft comprises: reference elements (16) arranged at a respective point (Pi); a laser telemeter (12) to emit a beam (20) to scan the surface (S); when the beam (20) is reflected by a reference element (16), to measure a respective reflection parameter (Xi) and to generate a signal representative of the distance (di) of the reference element (16) from the laser telemeter (12); an electronic control unit (18) configured for, for each point (Pi), determining an end position (Li') by processing a signal representative of the initial position (Li), the signal representative of the distance (di) of the reference element (16), and signals representative of the value of a first angular coordinate (Ai) and a second angular coordinate (Bi) indicative of the direction of the beam (20).
