Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a system for interrelating a displaying device relative to a surveying instrument, said displaying device and surveying instrument being spatially separated from each other and comprising communication means to communicate with each other, wherein the method comprises providing a first image from the surveying instrument and providing a second image from the displaying device, wherein the first image and the second image at least in part cover the same scenery, detecting a plurality of corresponding features in the first image and in the second image with a processing unit, deriving a set of transition parameters based at least in part on the corresponding features with said processing unit, referencing the displaying device relative to the surveying instrument regarding position and orientation based at least in part on the set of parameters with said processing unit.

Abstract: A mobile field controller, together with a geodetic surveying device, forms a one-person measurement system for geodetic position determination. The field controller allows the spatial orientation of the field controller to be determined. The field controller supports a geodetic target object and has a distance-measuring unit that measures the distance between the field controller and a target point, the distance being optically marked by the field controller, as a result of which a 3D point cloud is generated without physical contact to a target point. When surveying a specific terrain region, algorithms analyzing the 3D point cloud are saved in a control and evaluation unit of the field controller. The absolute position of the target point is calculated from the data of the spatial orientation of the field controller, the distance between field controller and target point and the absolute position of the geodetic target object.
