Position determination method for a geodetic measuring device
First Claim
1. A position determination method for a theodolite or a total station having distance and angle measuring functionality comprising a datum point set of datum points which measurements are capable of being made and the positions of which are known and define a distribution of datum points in an external reference system, the method comprising:
- determining the relative position of the theodolite or total station device and reference points of a reference point set by measurements of in each case distance and at least one angle from the theodolite or total station device to the reference points as reference quantities, the reference quantities being determined in a device-related reference system and representing a distribution of reference points in an internal reference system, and reference point set and datum point set having common elements;
determining the position of the theodolite or total station device in the external reference system from the reference points;
deriving the relative position of the reference points to one another from the reference quantities; and
identifying and assigning the common elements on the basis of identifying common points of the distribution of the datum points and the distribution of the reference points by comparing the relative position of the datum points of the datum point set with the relative position of the reference points of the reference point set.

Abstract
The invention relates to a position determination method for a geodetic device having a distance and angle measuring functionality, such as a total station (1), a determination being made of the relative location of the geodetic device and reference points (2) marked with reflectors (P1-Pn) of a quantity of reference points, by measuring the distance (D1-Dn) and at least one angle (φi-φn, θ1-θn) from the geodetic device to the reference points as reference variables, the reference variables being determined in a device-based reference system. For the reference point quantity formed by the reference points (P1-Pn) and a reference point quantity of measurable reference points (A-G), the positions of which are known in an external reference system, common elements are identified, the relative location of the reference points (P1-Pn) being derived from the reference variables and the common elements being identified and associated based on the relative location of the reference points (P1-Pn). The position (S) of the geodetic device in the external reference system is determined from the common elements and the positions thereof in an external reference system.
