1. A coordinate-measuring machine for the contactless measurement of objects, wherein a plurality of cameras (7;

  • 27) are mounted to motor-driven articulating heads with angular-position transmitters (6;

    26) for each of two orthogonal axes of joint articulation and are arranged a distance apart from each other alongside the object, and wherein the cameras produce video signals which, together with angular-position output data of the transmitters (7;

    27), are fed to a computer (10) for determination of the coordinate values of measurement points, said coordinate-measuring machine having an image-processing device (11) with associated storage means (29) having capacity to store a plurality of images for each of the cameras (7a-c), the motor-driven articulating heads (6;

    26) being installed with the cameras (7;

    27) on a table (1;

    21) which is adapted for supporting an object (3;

    23) to be measured, and vibration-damping means (4;

    24) for said table.
