Device and method for navigation
First Claim
1. A method for determining the position of at least one object in a navigation system of coordinates, said method comprising the steps of:
- a) fixing at least one reference marker in relation to said object in a defined positional relationship;
b) using a detection system to detect the said position of said object in a detection system of coordinates;
c) detecting the position of said at least one reference marker in relation to said detection system of coordinates;
d) using a navigation system to detect the position of said at least one reference marker in a navigation system of coordinates; and
e) determining the position of said object in said navigation system of coordinates from the detected position of said at least one reference marker in said navigation system of coordinates and from the detected position of said object relative to said at least one reference marker, as determined in steps b) and c).

Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for determining the position of at least one object in a navigation system of co-ordinates, wherein: reference points and/or markers (4) are connected in a defined positional relationship to the object; the position of the object is detected in relation to a detection system of co-ordinates; the position of the reference points (4) is detected in relation to the detection system of co-ordinates; the position of the reference points is detected in relation to a navigation system of co-ordinates; and the position of the object is determined in the navigation system of co-ordinates, from the position of the at least one reference point (4) in the detection system of co-ordinates; as well as to a device for determining the position of an object in a navigation system of co-ordinates.

9. A device for determining the position of at least one object in a navigation system of coordinates, comprising:
-
a) a fixing device which may be arranged in a defined positional relationship on the object;
b) a detection system for detecting the relative position of said object and of at least one reference marker fixed to said fixing device in a defined positional relationship to said object, in a detection system of coordinates;
c) a navigation system for detecting the position of said at least one reference marker in a navigation system of coordinates; and
d) a data processing device for determining said position of said object in said navigation system of coordinates from the detected position of said object relative to said at least one reference marker in said detection system of coordinates and from the detected position of said at least one reference marker in said navigation system of coordinates. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
