In the process of open-die forging, inaccuracies can appear. These inaccuracies must be measured and corrected. Passive heavy forging measurement, based on their silhouettes in images, potentially offers many advantages in this application. However, regarding forging measurement, this method showed limited accuracy in the literature and was never verified under industrial conditions. Therefore, the aim of this thesis is to examine the feasibility of this method in the industrial environment, by using advanced methods of optical measurement. Interfering effects are discussed, and original methods, working as countermeasures, are proposed. Methods are verified in both the laboratory and the industrial environment. The results suggest the effectiveness of the proposed methods; the accuracy achieved in the laboratory and industrial environment is of the same order. The error is approximately around 1 mm in a measurement volume of 6 × 6 × 2 m for the geometry of the axis and the measurement of the diameter. This result satisfies the demands of an industrial environment. However, the measurement still contains outliers, which are discussed. The knowledge obtained can be used during the development of a professional measurement system for this application. Secondly, the knowledge can be generalized to the measurement of hot objects, or objects in a complex environment, based on their silhouettes. A system for the measurement of forgings could increase the effectiveness of manufacturing and could become a part of automated forging production line in the future.
