Abstract

A measurement system is provided that facilitates the measuring of a shape of a flexible electromagnetic radiation structure. The measurement system includes a plurality of local sensors, a central sensor and a measurement processor. Each of the plurality of local sensors is configured to sense the position of a portion of the flexible electromagnetic radiation structure. The central sensor is configured to determine an overall shape of the flexible electromagnetic radiation structure. The measurement processor provides the ability to combine sensor data from the local sensors and sensor data from the central sensor to provide an accurate measurement of the shape of the flexible electromagnetic radiation structure.
