Information carrier, method and reading device for two-dimensional position measurement on surfaces and the attendant call of program processes
First Claim
1. An information carrier, on which a position can be measured for a measuring point using a mobile reading device, wherein:
- the information carrier comprises a surface to which a visible primary information has been applied, in particular in the manner of sheet music, a book or a map, at least one machine-readable two-dimensional pattern has been printed on the surface, said pattern coding a position information, wherein by using said information in an image analysis method, and by local sampling of parts of the pattern, the position of measuring point may be determined and the pattern coding the position information is transparent in such a way that the primary information on the surface will remain visible.

Abstract
The invention comprises an information carrier on which the position of a measuring point (37, 41) may be determined using a mobile readout device, as well as an attendant method of determining a position wherein the information carrier features a surface onto which a visible primary information has been applied, in the manner of a book or a geographic map, wherein at least one machine-readable pattern has been printed on the surface, said pattern coding a position information, which upon bringing to bear methods of image analysis and of local sampling of parts (36, 40) of the surface, will allow a determination of position for a measurement point (37, 41) and wherein the pattern coding the position information is transparent in such a way that the primary information on the surface remains visible.
