    摘要: A spatial positioning and measurement system provides three-dimensional position and/or measurement information of an object using one or more fixed referent station systems, and one or more portable position sensor systems. Each fixed station produces at least one primary laser beam which is rotated at a constant angular velocity about a vertical axis. The primary laser beam has a predetermined angle of divergence or angle of spread which is inclined at a predetermined angle from the vertical axis. Each fixed station also preferably includes at least one reflective surface for generating a secondary laser beam.The portable position sensor includes a light sensitive detector, computer, and a display. The light sensitive detector can be formed of at least one "axicon" which directs incoming light to a photosensitive detector. The photosensitive detector generates an electrical pulse when struck by crossing laser beam and sends this pulse to the computer. The computer time labels each received pulse, which corresponds to the time of a laser beam crossing the axicon.For any point which is crossed by the two laser beams, a horizontal angle can be determined from the time difference between the time of crossing of the primary and reflected laser beam. Once these horizontal angles are known for three fixed referent stations, the point of intersection of three planes, and thus the three dimensional position of the point, is determined. Q A C
