Abstract: A system for measuring a water-filled structure includes a measurement device. The measurement device comprises a sensor carrier with a first end arranged below water and a second end arranged above the water. At least one measurement sensor is positioned on the first end of the sensor carrier and is configured to measure the water-filled structure by capturing measurement data. An acceleration sensor is provided and a tachymeter is positioned outside of the water-filled structure. The position of the tachymeter is determined using GNSS measuring points configured to receive GNSS signals from satellites in a global navigation system. A control unit is configured to determine at least one of a current position of the measurement device and an orientation of the measurement device based on: (1) measuring data from the acceleration sensor; (2) the GNSS signals received by the GNSS measuring points; and (3) measuring data captured by the tachymeter.

Abstract: A measuring apparatus for measuring a structure comprises at least one measurement sensor configured to measure the structure, a bearing platform configured to carry the at least one measurement sensor and a control. The control is configured to specify at least one quality reference value for at least one characteristic of measurement quality, and further configured to adjust one or more parameters of the measuring apparatus which influence the at least one characteristic of measurement quality. An actual quality value is determined and approaches the at least one quality reference value as the one or more parameters are adjusted.
