METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DETERMINING COORDINATES OF OBJECT Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC G01S13/06 G01C1/00 

FIELD: instrument engineering.

SUBSTANCE: method and device belong to angle-measuring assemblies for determining coordinates of remote object. After coordinates of area of observation are fixed, a set of shoots of panorama of region is made and the shoots made are introduced into memory of frame field unit. Then shoots are combined by means of correlation device into integral reference panorama of region to be observed. Relative angular coordinates in form of points of image are fixed on the base of pre-known parameters of optical system. Then real angular position of panorama is determined. After that the viewer brings pointing direction into coincidence with one or another object to be viewed and recording of corresponding frame is performed. Frame goes to correlation device, which finds location of similar shoot at reference panorama. Control and commutation unit fixes real angles at object of viewing. During process of observation, optical axis of pointing of direction is stabilized due to decoupling it from case of optical device of observer. Device has optical observation system connected with device for fixing optical image in digital form. Device for observation of self-coordinates of observer is introduced into the device for determining coordinates of objects. The former has output connected with input of control and calculation device. Device for fixing optical image in digital form has output connected with input of single-frame memory unit which has its inputs-outputs connected with input-output of correlation device correspondingly. Correlation device has its output-input connected with input-output of frame field memory unit. Correlation device has its output-input connected with input-output of control and calculation unit. Frame field memory unit has its output also connected with input of control and calculation unit which performs function of determination of angular coordinates. All the devices, tools and units are disposed on case of optical observation system.

EFFECT: improved reliability; improved precision.
