Abstract
The present invention relates to a method and a device for determining the spatial position of a sensor, in which a rough position information initially is determined by rough detection of the position of the sensor, and then the more accurate position of the sensor is obtained by measuring at least three reflectors mounted on the sensor with a laser tracker, wherein the search region of the laser of the laser tracker is limited for the reflectors with reference to the rough position information.

A method for determining the spatial position of a sensor (4), in which a rough position information initially is obtained by rough detection of the position of the sensor, and the more accurate position of the sensor then is determined by measuring at least three reflectors (3) mounted on the sensor with a laser tracker (1), wherein the search region of the laser of the laser tracker is limited for the reflectors with reference to the rough position information.
A device for determining the spatial position of a sensor (4) with means (2) for obtaining a rough position information by rough detection of the position of the sensor, with a laser tracker (1) for determining the more accurate position of the sensor by measuring the position of at least three reflectors (3) mounted on the sensor and with means for limiting the search region of the laser tracker for the reflectors with reference to the rough position information.
