Abstract

The present disclosure describes systems, apparatuses, and methods for aligning surfaces, including aligning a drive shaft. According to certain embodiments, computer vision can be used to determine a differential angle between two surfaces. According to other embodiments, a plurality of inclinometers can determine a differential angle between two surfaces. The disclosure has applications in shipboard maintenance, oil platform maintenance, space, etc.
