THREE-DIMENSIONAL TRACKING DEVICE USING TELEVISION TOTAL STATION

摘要

PURPOSE:To rapidly recognize precise execution information by sending the range finding and angle measuring data of an object to be measured and the picture data of a video by a television camera for measurement to a small computer. CONSTITUTION:A telescope C follows the object to be measured whose direction is moved by the operations of stepping motors 11 and 13 based on the control signal of the telescope. While the telescope C tracks the object to be measured, a television total station always transfers the so-called range finding and angle measuring data of distance, horizontal angle, and vertical angle of the object to be measured, and image coordinate (X, Y) data from the video by the tele vision camera for measurement to the small computer. In such a way, it is possible to recognize the position (X, Y, Z), speed, direction, and height differ ence of a moving working ship (object to be measured) accurately and with an accurate numeric value.
