Method and system of triangulating an object

摘要

A method and a system of triangulating an object by means of at least two sensors. Each sensor is placed in a respective local reference system. Each of the at least two sensors at least provide a bearing to the object in their respective local reference system. According to the invention a triangulation reference system is created. The triangulation reference system is different to any one of the local reference systems and suitably such that at least two local reference systems are rotated more in relation to each other than each one is in relation to the triangulation reference system. Sensor positions and bearings are transformed into the triangulation reference system where the triangulation is performed. Suitably the triangulated position is then transformed into a desired reference system.
