Abstract
A marking for position determination. The marking includes an indicator surface which is arranged at least partially in a first plane and on which a large number of different indicators is arranged, and a viewing area which is arranged in a second plane located in front of the first plane in an intended viewing direction and which is configured in such a way that it defines a viewing point through which the indicator surface in the first plane is to be viewed in order to read an indicator from the large number of different indicators. An associated camera system and an associated positioning system are also described.
Claims12
A marking for position determination, comprising:
- an indicator surface which is arranged at least partially in a first plane and on which a large number of different indicators is arranged;
- and
- a viewing area which is arranged in a second plane located in front of the first plane in an intended viewing direction and which is configured in such a way that the viewing area defines a viewing point through which the indicator surface in the first plane is to be viewed in order to read an indicator from the large number of different indicators.
A camera system which is configured to record a marking, the marking including:
- an indicator surface which is arranged at least partially in a first plane and on which a large number of different indicators is arranged;
- and
- a viewing area which is arranged in a second plane located in front of the first plane in an intended viewing direction and which is configured in such a way that the viewing area defines a viewing point through which the indicator surface in the first plane is to be viewed in order to read an indicator from the large number of different indicators,
- the camera system comprising:
- a position determination unit which is configured to:
- read an indicator, located at the viewing point, from the indicator surface through the viewing area of the marking;
- and
- ascertain a relative position of the camera system with respect to the marking from the read indicator.
A positioning system, comprising:
- a marking including:
- an indicator surface which is arranged at least partially in a first plane and on which a large number of different indicators is arranged;
- and
- a viewing area which is arranged in a second plane located in front of the first plane in an intended viewing direction and which is configured in such a way that the viewing area defines a viewing point through which the indicator surface in the first plane is to be viewed in order to read an indicator from the large number of different indicators;
- and
- a camera system including:
- a position determination unit which is configured to:
- read an indicator, located at the viewing point, from the indicator surface through the viewing area of the marking;
- and
- ascertain a relative position of the camera system with respect to the marking from the read indicator.
A method for position determination, comprising the following steps:
- reading an indicator from an indicator surface which is arranged at least partially in a first plane and on which a large number of different indicators is arranged, wherein, the indicator is read through a viewing area which is arranged in a second plane located in front of the first plane in an intended viewing direction and is configured in such a way that viewing area defines a viewing point through which the indicator surface in the first plane is to be viewed in order to show the indicator from the large number of different indicators.
