Abstract:
A correction calculation method for a satellite based positioning system with a network of receiving units as reference stations comprises a partitioning of the network into groups of reference stations, calculation of group-specific correction factors, amalgamation of the group-specific correction factors and subsequently, derivation of network-specific correction parameters. In this partitioning, the reference stations are represented by nodes in a connected, edge-weighted graph, in the generation of which an edge respectively connecting two nodes is only generated if it satisfies a distance-dependent connectivity condition, whereby the distance between the nodes connected by this edge is input into the weighting function of this edge. From the graph a minimum spanning tree is derived and subsequently partitioned for establishing the groups, by eliminating the edge with the highest weight for each tree, the elimination of which leads to partial trees which in each case either satisfy a cardinality condition for the number of the nodes in the two resulting partial trees, or consist of a number of nodes greater than the cardinality condition.

Abstract:
A method and system for determining the position of a hand-held power tool on a wall including measuring distances within a plane perpendicular to a tooling axis in at least two directions, comprising at least the direction to one side wall and the direction to the floor or the ceiling. At least one non-contact measurement sensor module measures distances in a multitude of angles in an angular range of at least 1° around the at least two directions. From the distance sequence measured by the at least one measurement sensor module a calculation and storing unit automatically calculates a function, wherein extrema represent shortest distances to walls, floor and/or ceiling adjacent to the wall. From said function the calculation and storing unit deduces the shortest distances, and output means provide information about the shortest distances so as to allow positioning relative to the shortest distances.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method and a surveying system for noncontact coordinate measurement on the object surface of an object to be surveyed in an object coordinate system. With a 3D image recording unit, a first three-dimensional image of a first area section of the object surface is electronically recorded in a first position and first orientation, the first three-dimensional image being composed of a multiplicity of first pixels, with which in each case a piece of depth information is coordinated. The first position and first orientation of the 3D image recording unit in the object coordinate system are determined by a measuring apparatus coupled to the object coordinate system. First 3D object coordinates in the object coordinate system are coordinated with the first pixels from the knowledge of the first 3D image coordinates and of the first position and first orientation of the 3D image recording unit.

With a 3D image recording unit (3), a first three-dimensional image (P1) of a first area section (S1) of the object surface (2) is electronically recorded in a first position (x1, y1, z1) and first orientation (φ1, ω1, κ1), the first three-dimensional image (P1) being composed of a multiplicity of first pixels (i1), with which in each case a piece of depth information is coordinated. First 3D image coordinates (u1i, v1i, w1i) in an image coordinate system (B) of the 3D image recording unit (3) are coordinated with the first pixels (i1). The first position (x1, y1, z1) and first orientation (100 1, ω1, κ1) of the 3D image recording unit (3) in the object coordinate system (O) are determined by a measuring apparatus (4a, 4b) coupled to the object coordinate system (O).
