Self-propelled construction machine comprising a chassis which comprises front and rear wheels or running gears (4A, 4B) in the working direction, a drive device for driving the front and/or rear wheels or running gears (4A, 4B), a working device for installing structures on the terrain in a predetermined working region (25, 26) of the working device or for altering the terrain in a predetermined working region of the working device, a control unit for controlling the drive device and/or the working device such that the construction machine carries out translational and/or rotational movements on the terrain and/or the drive device installs a structure on the terrain or alters the terrain, an image capturing unit for capturing an image of the terrain, a display unit for displaying the image of the terrain as captured by the image capturing unit, and a data processing unit for processing the image data from the image capturing unit, characterised in that the data processing unit comprises: an identification unit which is configured such that objects of the terrain represented in the image displayed on the display unit can be identified, a referencing unit which is configured such that a spatial data set [X 1, Y 1, Z 1), (X 2, Y 2, Z 2), (X 3, Y 3, Z 3)... (X n, Y n, Z n)] containing information regarding the position of the identified objects in the reference system (X, Y, Z) which is independent of the movement of the construction machine is determined from the image data of the image capturing unit on the basis of the position and orientation of the image capturing unit in a reference system (X, Y, Z) which is independent of the movement of the construction machine on the terrain, and in that the control unit is configured such that the drive device is actuated on the basis of the determined spatial data set [(X 1, V 1, Z 1), (X 2, Y 2, Z 2), (X 3, Y 3, Z 3)... (X n, Y n, Z n)] in order to carry out translational and/or rotational movements on the terrain and/or such that the working device is actuated on the basis of the determined spatial data set in order to install a structure on the terrain or to alter the terrain. an identification unit which is configured such that objects of the terrain represented in the image displayed on the display unit can be identified, a referencing unit which is configured such that a spatial data set [X 1, Y 1, Z 1), (X 2, Y 2, Z 2), (X 3, Y 3, Z 3)...
