Patent ID: 8295585

Claim:
A method for determining the position and relative displacement of an object ( 1 ) in space, comprising the following steps: simultaneously recording at least three measurement characteristics ( 4 ) of the object ( 1 ) in an image by an optical recording device ( 3 ) calibrated to a space coordinate system ( 5 ); wherein the measurement characteristics are recorded in different space positions of the recording device on the basis of these measurement characteristics ( 4 ), determining the position of the object ( 1 ) in the space coordinate system ( 5 ) in an image processing device, wherein a moveable recording device is used, wherein the at least three measurement characteristics ( 4 ) of the object ( 1 ) in different spatial positions are recorded and evaluated, wherein a position of the recording device ( 3 ) is selected such that for determining the position of the object ( 1 ), suitable measurement characteristics ( 4 ) optimally cover a sensitive area of the recording device by intermediate angles of visual rays ( 7 ) from the measurement characteristics ( 4 ) to the photographic device ( 3 ) that are greater than 10°, and wherein no more than five measurement characteristics ( 4 ) are evaluated simultaneously.
