Arrangement for optically tracking moving objects and for measuring their trajectories

摘要

An arrangement for optically tracking moving objects and for measuring trajectories of the moving objects using triangulation. The arrangement includes a pair of measuring locations including a first measuring location and a second measuring location disposed at a distance with respect to the first measuring location. The arrangement further includes a plurality of pairs of theodolites for simultaneously tracking and measuring the trajectories of the moving objects, each pair of theodolites being effective for tracking and measuring a trajectory of a corresponding moving object and further having a first theodolite and a second theodolite. First theodolites of each pair of theodolites together form a first set of theodolites disposed on a common azimuthal axis at the first measuring location; and second theodolites of each pair of theodolites together form a second set of theodolites disposed on a common azimuthal axis at the second measuring location.
