Measuring system and method for marking a known target point in a coordinate system
First Claim
1. A surveying system for marking a target that is known in a coordinate system, comprising:
- a mobile marking unit configured to precisely determine a marking unit position using a customizable reflector and/or a GNSS antenna;
a geodetic surveying appliance for determining the position of the marking unit, the geodetic surveying appliance having access to data, stored in a database, representing a target position of the target, and the geodetic surveying appliance having;
a telescopic targeting unit that defines a targeting direction, the telescopic targeting unit being swivelable about a vertical axis and a horizontal axis relative to a base of the geodetic surveying appliance;
angle sensors configured for capturing the orientation of the telescopic targeting unit; and
a camera configured for capturing a camera image essentially in the targeting direction;
a display configured to display the camera image, together with the target position and/or the marking unit position;
a control and processing unit; and
presentation functionality that, when executed under the control of the control and processing unit, involves displaying on the display the camera image and a spatial discrepancy between the marking unit position and the target position, the spatial discrepancy being displayed;
in a first direction using a first discrepancy indicator that indicates an interval from the target position to a plane defined by the surveying appliance and the marking unit; and
in a second direction using a second discrepancy indicator that indicates an interval from the target position to a normal to the plane, which normal is stipulated by the marking unit position;
wherein the spatial discrepancy is presented independently in the first direction and in the second direction.

Abstract
A measuring system for marking a known target point in a coordinate system includes a mobile marking unit and a geodetic measuring device. The measuring device has a sighting unit, angle measurement functionality, and a camera for capturing a camera image. The measuring system has a database storing a target point position, an output unit that presents the camera image, and a control and processing unit. The measuring system has presentation functionality that presents a spatial deviation between the marking unit and target point positions on the output unit in first and second directions using, respectively, using first and second deviation displays. The first deviation display indicates a distance of the target point position from a plane defined by the measuring device and the marking unit. The second deviation display indicates a distance of the target point position from a normal to the plane defined by the marking unit position.
