Embodiment Construction

[0028] The above described drawing figures illustrate the described apparatus and its method of use in at least one of its preferred embodiments, which is further defined in detail in the following description. Those having ordinary skill in the art may be able to make alterations and modifications from what is described herein without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, it must be understood that what is illustrated is set forth only for the purposes of example and that it should not be taken as a limitation in the scope of the present apparatus and method of use.

[0029]FIG. 1 illustrates an installation for determining in an indirect manner the position of a point P using, the instant system which comprises two fixed trackers (10 and 10′) wherein the absolute positions of the trackers is known and they are fixed in position as shown. A movable measuring device (20) includes a rigid rod (25); a pair of reflectors (30 and 30′) mounted at fixed positions on the rod (25), and

Abstract

A system enables indirect determination of a position vector (VR) of a point position (P). The system uses two fixed trackers (10 and 10′) whose absolute positions are known. A movable measuring device (20) provides a rigid rod (25) supporting a pair of reflectors (30 and 30′) which are mounted at fixed positions. A reference point (R) is mounted at a further fixed position on the rod (25) and is on a straight line (L) through the reflectors (30 and 30′). Light beams from the trackers (10 and 10′) acquire the reflectors (30 and 30′) so that when the reference point (R) is positioned at the point position (P), the position vector (VR) of point position (P) is determinate by vector addition.
