Claim One:
1. An apparatus for determining a position of an object relative to a representation of an image to be represented, comprising: an input for at least one image to be represented; a position pattern generator for generating a position pattern which is subdivided into a plurality of pattern portions, each of the pattern portions comprising an unambiguous bit pattern of a plurality of bit patterns, the bit patterns being Gray-coded in a generalized manner; a combination unit for combining the position pattern with the at least one image to be represented and for providing a corresponding combined image; an optical sensor for optically sensing an image section of the combined image, the image section being correlated with the position of the object; a filter for extracting at least one bit pattern which corresponds to a pattern portion of the position pattern, from the image section and for providing at least one corresponding extracted pattern portion; and a determiner for determining the position of the object on the basis of the at least one extracted bit pattern.
