Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an arrangement for detecting acoustic and optical information as well as a corresponding computer program and a corresponding computer-readable storage medium, which can in particular be used to generate three-dimensional sound maps. The sound maps can be visualized and provided with information about acoustic sources, sound power and emitter characteristics. For this purpose, it is proposed to use for the detection of acoustic and optical information at least one microphone array and at least one device for detecting optical geometry data, wherein the at least one microphone array and the at least one device for detecting optical geometry data are arranged in a defined positional relationship. Acoustic information emitted from an object and the geometry of the object are detected by moving the at least one microphone array, the at least one device for detecting optical geometry data and the object relative to each other.

Abstract: A method and system determines a relative position of a first object in relation to a second object. A computer program and computer-readable storage medium is usable to determine a spatial position and orientation of measurement devices in environments of arbitrary complexity. A relative position of the objects and real coordinates of the location and orientation of the objects is determinable from computer simulation and virtual coordinates of a location and orientation of the first and second objects.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a method and a system for determining the relative position of a first object in relation to a second object, as well as a corresponding computer program and a corresponding computer-readable storage medium, which can be used, in particular, to determine a spatial position and orientation of measurement devices in environments of arbitrary complexity. It is proposed to determine the relative position of the objects with a computer simulation and to determine the real coordinates of the location and orientation of the objects from the so determined virtual coordinates of the location and orientation.
