  • Patent number: 10337865
    Abstract: A surveying system can have a position determination unit for determining a target position in a defined coordinate system and have a mobile measurement unit for definition and/or position determination of measurement points in the coordinate system. The surveying system may include a control unit for allowing a user to control a surveying task of the surveying system in a surveying environment in order to acquire surveying task data that comprises spatial coordinates of at least one measurement point, the surveying system being adapted to capture and/or receive environment data of the surveying environment, the control unit comprising a processor unit, a data storage unit and an electronic graphical display for displaying a visualization of the surveying task data to the user, wherein the control unit is adapted to provide a virtual walkthrough functionality in a three-dimensional representation of the surveying environment.

  • Patent number: 9939263
    Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention include a surveying system having a position determination unit such as, for example, a total station or a GNSS module, for determining a target position in a defined coordinate system, and having a mobile target unit for definition and/or position determination of target points in the coordinate system. In some embodiments, the surveying system may be adapted to capture and/or receive image data that is related to a task image. In some embodiments, the surveying system may include a control unit for allowing a user to control surveying tasks of the surveying system in order to acquire surveying task data that is related to the surveying tasks and comprises spatial coordinates of at least one target point, a data storage unit for storing the surveying task data, and an electronic graphical display for displaying a visualization of the surveying task data.
