Abstract:
A method of calibrating a levelling offset meter (LOM) for calculating the angular offset between a plane parallel to the LOM and a predetermined reference plane, the LOM comprises a bull's eye spirit level having a bubble and a processor coupled to an image, comprising: capturing, by the imager, a plurality of images of the spirit level associated with a respective plurality of known angular offsets; calculating in respect of each image a pixel distance from the bubble center to a predetermined zero offset pixel, thereby obtaining a plurality of pixel distances, each pixel distance associated with a known angular offset; fitting a function to a plurality of pairs of values, each pair of values comprising a pixel distance and its associated known angular offset; and storing the function in a memory.
