Abstract
An automatic vertical alignment method is presented and analyzed for an absolute laser ballistic gravimeter. The method uses a high-speed video camera to record the displacement trajectory of glare from the measuring beam reflected from a corner reflector when the test body is in free fall. The magnitude and direction of the measuring beam displacement angle from the vertical is determined by frame-by-frame processing of the obtained video, and the vertical of the working gravimeter beam is corrected by actuators installed on the movable supports of the gravimeter base. Experimental verification showed that the vertical alignment error does not exceed 3 × 10–5 rad.
期刊介绍：
Seismic Instruments is a journal devoted to the description of geophysical instruments used in seismic research. In addition to covering the actual instruments for registering seismic waves, substantial room is devoted to solving instrumental-methodological problems of geophysical monitoring, applying various methods that are used to search for earthquake precursors, to studying earthquake nucleation processes and to monitoring natural and technogenous processes. The description of the construction, working elements, and technical characteristics of the instruments, as well as some results of implementation of the instruments and interpretation of the results are given. Attention is paid to seismic monitoring data and earthquake catalog quality Analysis.
