Abstract: A method for determining the position of a reflector rod provided with a reflector, using a sighting beam emitted from a base station is disclosed. The reflector and a first position sensor define a first coordinate system. The direction of the sighting beam to the reflector is measured from the base station in a second coordinate system, using horizontal and vertical angles. A second position sensor arranged in the direction of the sighting axis of the base station determines the location and orientation of the reflector rod. Measurement data in the first coordinate system is generated to determine the spatial orientation of the reflector relative to the light beam. Imaging optics are used to image the reflector on the second position sensor. The position of the reflector in the second coordinate system and the distance from the base station to the reflector are determined.

Abstract: At least one temporary visible reference line is projected onto a target surface, as for example, an athletic field, by several laser sources. A first laser source emits optical energynullat a wavelength of between 380 nm and 750 nmnullalong at least a first selectable path upon the target surface so as to form a temporary line thereon. A second laser source disposed at a second elevated, stationary location relative to the target surface different from the first stationary location emits optical energy along at least a second selectable path upon the target surface so as to form a temporary line thereon. In some instances, each laser light source may be capable of traversing the entire width of the target surface, in which case each laser source covers a discrete region. In other cases, respective laser sources arranged on opposite laterals sides of the target surface can be included so that segments contiguous with those projected by a corresponding one of the first and second laser sources can be generated to form a temporary line that does traverse the entire width of the target surface.

Abstract: A spatial tracking system tracks movements of sources of radiated energy. In the one embodiment of the invention, three sensor sets are included each containing a pair of sensors. Movements of a single radiation source with a radially symmetric emission pattern is tracked in up to six dimensions; X, Y, Z, yaw, pitch and radiation intensity. Sources with different radiation ranges or types are tracked at the same time using sensors tuned to the different radiation ranges or types. The sensor sets may include more than two sensors which increases the spatial range monitored and increases tracking accuracy and optionally include sensors tuned to different radiation sources, such as light of different wavelengths. Individual sensors can be included with the sensor sets which increase the rotational range of the system beyond the range for translation tracking.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for the contactless measuring of distances to aircraft when positioning the aircraft, such as when docking or parking. A scanning laser is arranged in front of the aircraft to be positioned and is directed toward a centerline along which an aircraft is to be moved in the course of positioning the aircraft. The laser emits measuring pulses stepwise or incrementally at different angles to detect a predetermined measurement volume. The laser is calibrated with the distance from the laser to the ground for at least some of the angles, and the distances at those angles is measured during positioning of an aircraft. The measured distances are compared with the calibrated distances, and the laser is considered to have measured the correct distance when there is a predetermined agreement between the measured distance and a calibrated distance corresponding with the same angle.

Abstract: A laser alignment system is provided. The system includes a plurality of lasers which are sequentially operative for producing first and second laser beams that are parallel to one another. The system further includes a target assembly. The target assembly includes lenses and mirrors disposed such that the first laser beam impinges directly on the target to provide displacement data. The second laser beam is focused and reflected so that the focal point of the reflected second beam impinges on the target. In a similar manner, a third parallel beam may be provided and may be focused to impinge on the target. Additionally, the plural laser beams may be substituted for by a single laser plane. The second and/or third beams provide alignment data, while the first beam provides displacement data.
