Abstract
We fabricated a position surveying system for underground pipes using two rotary encoders. Two rotary encoders measure distance of right and left walls of the pipe. It was confirmed that the fabricated position surveying system can survey the position of the experimental underground pipe that consists of two 8000 mm straight pipes and 4000 mm curved pipe that has the curvature radius of 36500 mm in the error of 5.6 mm.
