First Claim
1. A method for using a GNSS device to determine a position of an unknown point, the method comprising:
- determining a first position of a first point based on GNSS signals received by the GNSS device, wherein the first point is at a first location;
capturing a first image from the first point at the first location using an image sensor of the GNSS device, the first image including the unknown point and at least one of a second point or a third point;
determining a second position of the second point based on GNSS signals received by the GNSS device, wherein the second point is at a second location;
capturing a second image from the second point at the second location, the second image including the unknown point and at least one of the first point or the third point;
determining a third position of the third point based on GNSS signals received by the GNSS device, wherein the third point is at a third location;
capturing a third image from the third point at the third location, the third image including the unknown point and at least one of the second point or the first point; and
calculating a position of the unknown point based on the first, second, and third images and the first, second, and third positions, wherein the first point, the second point, the third point, and the unknown point are different points.

Abstract
A method for using a GNSS device to determine a position of an unknown point includes determining positions of a first point, a second point, and a third point using the GNSS device. A first image is captured of the first point using an image sensor, the image includes the unknown point and at least one of the second point or the third point. A second image is captured from the second point; the second image includes the unknown point and at least one of the second point or the third point. A third image is captured from the third point; the third image includes the unknown point and at least one of the second point or the first point. A position of the unknown point is calculated based on the first, second, and third images and the first, second, and third positions.
