Abstract
A method for determining a position of an object by a sensor, including setting a local sensor coordinate system, setting a global target coordinate system, determining transformation parameters for transforming coordinates in the local sensor coordinate system to coordinates in the global target coordinate system, capturing the position of the object in local coordinates, transforming the position of the object to coordinates in the global target coordinate system.
Claims21
A method for determining a position of an object by a sensor, comprising:
- setting a local sensor coordinate system;
- setting a global target coordinate system;
- determining transformation parameters to transform coordinates in the local sensor coordinate system to coordinates in the global target coordinate system;
- capturing the position of the object in local coordinates;
- and
- transforming the position of the object to coordinates in the global target coordinate system.
A device comprising:
- memory storing a program element for determining a position of an object by a sensor;
- a processor configured to execute the program element by being configured to:
- set a local sensor coordinate system;
- set a global target coordinate system;
- determine transformation parameters to transform coordinates in the local sensor coordinate system to coordinates in the global target coordinate system;
- capture the position of the object in local coordinates;
- and
- transform the position of the object to coordinates in the global target coordinate system.
(canceled)
A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon a program that when executed by a computer causes the computer to implement a method for determining a position of an object by a sensor, comprising:
- setting a local sensor coordinate system;
- setting a global target coordinate system;
- determining transformation parameters to transform coordinates in the local sensor coordinate system to coordinates in the global target coordinate system;
- capturing the position of the object in local coordinates;
- and
- transforming the position of the object to coordinates in the global target coordinate system.
