Abstract
A system and a method for determining a position and an orientation of an object relative to a defined reference frame is disclosed. A plurality of targets are disposed at known locations relative to the defined reference frame. A head assembly is disposed on the object, where the head assembly includes a plurality of cameras. The head assembly determines the position and the orientation of the object from location data associated with the plurality of targets and image data from the plurality of cameras.
Claims27
A system for determining a position and an orientation of an object relative to a defined reference frame, comprising:
- a plurality of targets disposed at known locations relative to the defined reference frame;
- and
- a head assembly disposed on the object, wherein the head assembly includes a plurality of cameras;
- wherein the position and the orientation of the object is determinable by the head assembly from location data associated with the plurality of targets and image data from the plurality of cameras.
-16. (canceled)
A method for determining a position and an orientation of an object relative to a defined reference frame, comprising the steps of:
- disposing a plurality of targets at known locations relative to the defined reference frame;
- receiving image data from a plurality of cameras at a head assembly disposed on the object;
- receiving location data associated with the plurality of targets at the head assembly;
- and
- determining the position and the orientation of the object by the head assembly from the received image data and location data.
