This article describes the three-dimensional (3D) object geometry measurement systems based on phase triangulation and binary cyclic code methods. When it is required to adapt system elements to environmental conditions, such system configuration difficulties, which arise under nonstandard measurement conditions, were analyzed. To optimize the parameters of the specified measurement system, quantitative estimates of the system configuration quality are proposed based on the results of measuring the 3D geometry of the object and intermediate measurement data. Algorithms for calculating the quantitative estimates of the measurement system quality were developed. A software package consisting of two programs was created, which implements the processing and visualization of the results by measuring the 3D geometry of an object and intermediate measurement data and displaying the quantitative estimates of the measurement system quality on the monitor. The software package was tested when configuring a system for measuring the 3D ice build-up geometry on a stand to study the effects of icing on the reduced models of wind turbine functional elements. The measurement system was set to a characteristic measuring volume of 85 × 67 × 25 mm3. The frequency of the modulating signal and the parameters of the optical system were optimized, namely, the relative position and focal distances of the source and receiver of optical radiation, duration of exposure, and amplification of the analog signal of the receiver. The measurement error of the 3D geometry was 9 μm. For a measurement system of the 3D geometry of an object using the methods of phase triangulation and binary cyclic codes, the possibility of configuration using the developed software package was confirmed. The software package can be used in fields where it is required to adapt the parameters of a 3D geometry measurement system using phase triangulation and binary cyclic code methods to environmental conditions, such as wind and hydraulic power engineering and hot metallurgy industry.
