Geodesic measuring device comprising a thermographic camera

A method for determining, with geodesic precision, the position of a target point on a target object using a geodesic measuring device comprising:

• a sighting device, wherein the sighting device is pivotable relative to a base of the measuring device in order to change the alignment thereof and includes:
• an objective unit that defines an optical aiming axis;
• an electronic distance measuring unit;
• and
• a thermal imaging camera for acquiring a thermal image in the direction of the optical aiming axis;
• an angle measuring functionality for acquiring, with high precision, the alignment of the aiming axis;
• and
• a control unit for controlling the angle measuring functionality and the thermal imaging camera, wherein:
• in a thermal image measurement mode as a result of the initiation of a measurement process, position data of the sighted target point which are determined in this case, together with temperature information read out from the thermal image for the target point sighted using the aiming axis, are linked to one another in pairs in such a way that they can be called up in a manner associated with one another.
