Topic of this dissertation is improvement of dimensional and shape control in shipbuilding production process by using photogrammetric method. Accuracy of building units is the key of larger productivity of the ship hull assembly. Photogrammetric method enables fast measurement of dimensions and shape and early detection of possible inaccuracies in a stage when all corrections of structures can be done simply. First chapter, introduction, defines the following: problem, aim of the topic and describes up-to-date cognitions about problems of dimension and shape accuracy in the shipbuilding process. Hypothesis is set at the end of chapter. Second chapter elaborates actual activities of dimensional and shape control in the shipbuilding process. Both traditional and optical methods and devices are examined. The methods of control are illustrated by examples at subassembly and assembly stage. The standard of allowable tolerances, set by classification societies, is presented. Third chapter focuses on the photogrammetric method. Theoretical basic of method and photogrammetric system are presented. Basic activities and demands for correct measurement are also defined. Phases of measurement procedure are described, including selection of measuring object, defining measurement tasks, results analysis and presentation. Ways of development of the photogrammetric system, which would enable faster and more effective measurement, is presented. Fourth chapter elaborates possibilities of implementation of the photogrammetric method in dimensional and shape control in the shipbuilding production process. It contains implementation possibilities for shape control of elements, control of elements positions and comparison of measurement results with CAD model in stages of elements work, subassembly and assembly in the building berth. In the fifth chapter, peculiarities of photogrammetric method in the shipbuilding are presented, with measurements in the ship structures subassembly and assembly stages.

In the fifth chapter, peculiarities of photogrammetric method in the shipbuilding are presented, with measurements in the ship structures subassembly and assembly stages. For section in subassembly stage, section elements shape and positions control, control of measures determined with technological documentation and control of shape and dimensions of sections in comparison with CAD model are examined. For section in assembly stage, analyses of section joint aberrance are presented. Measurement results of the section and position on the ship are overlapped. Corrections of the section edge based on measurement results are suggested. Values of suggested and real corrections are compared and the accuracy of method and measurement results reliability is reviewed. CAD model of the section and measurement results of ship are also overlapped. Accuracy of the section joint on the ship based on measurement results is reviewed. Comparison of suggested corrections is performed after analyses. Results are used to review accuracy of section dimensions and shape. The results are also used to review the method of measurement results overlapping in program package. In the sixth chapter, suitableness of the photogrammetric method in the shipbuilding is examined. The examination involves needs, possibilities, development and conditions of use. Conclusions contain advantages of using the photogrammetric method in the shipbuilding process.
