Surveying system with an inertial measuring device
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A surveying process with the use of a surveying system having a sighting device, a position measuring unit that comprises a target point carrier that is movable relative to said sighting device and is sighted by said sighting device, and an inertial measuring device arranged on said target point carrier, comprising:
- placing said target point carrier at an initial position, moving said target point carrier sting from said initial position to further positions that are to be surveyed, using measurement values supplied by said inertial measuring device for determining coordinates of said positions of said target point carrier, and when visual connection between said sighting device and said target point carrier is interrupted, measuring the position of said target point carrier exclusively by measurement values supplied by said inertial measuring device.

5. The surveying process with the use of a measuring system having a sighting device, and an inertial measuring device arranged on said sighting device, comprising:
-
placing said sighting device at an initial position, moving said sighting device to further positions, using measurement values for surveying supplied by said inertial measuring device that correspond to a path that said sighting device has covered planning positions to be measured in advance, and controlling transfer of said sighting device from said initial position to said further positions to be surveyed with said inertial measuring device.

6. A surveying process with the use of a surveying system having a sighting device, a position measuring unit that comprises a target point carrier that is movable relative to said sighting device and is sighted by said sighting device, and an inertial measuring device arranged on said target point carrier, comprising:
-
placing said target point carrier at an initial position, moving said target point carrier starting from said initial position to further positions that are to be surveyed, using measuring values supplied by said inertial measuring device for determining coordinates of said positions of said target point carrier, and when visual connection between said sighting device and said target point carrier is interrupted, measuring the position of said target point carrier exclusively by measurement values supplied by said inertial measuring device. - View Dependent Claims (7)

9. A surveying system, comprising:
-
a sighting device, a position measuring unit, comprising an inertial measuring device, a target point carrier that is movable relative to said sighting device and is sighted by said sighting device, said inertial measuring device being arranged on said target point carrier, and a target point carrier seeking device that makes use of measurement values supplied by said inertial measuring device for automatically seeking said target point carrier said sighting device including a measuring telescope, and said target point carrier seeking device providing automatic alignment of said measuring telescope onto said target carrier by using signals of said inertial measuring device. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
