In a multilateration system based on an absolute distance measurement and a multilateration method using the multilateration system, the multilateration system is configured to obtain spatial coordinates of an object moving in a space. The system includes a tracking unit having a plurality of tracking devices, and a control calculation part having a dead path estimation part and a tracking device position calculation part. The tracking devices are positioned differently with each other and each of the tracking devices measures a distance to the object. The dead path estimation part is configured to pre-estimate a dead path which is a distance between a measurement reference surface of each tracking device and a central position of each tracking device. The tracking device position calculation part is configured to calculate the central position of each tracking device via nonlinear optimization.

A distance measuring device of the present disclosure is a device measuring a distance to a target, and includes: a near-infrared laser optical system generating a near-infrared laser pulse having a predetermined NAR (Non-Ambiguity Range) value to be emitted toward a target and receiving the near-infrared laser pulse reflected from the target to be converted into a near-infrared electrical signal, a visible laser optical system generating visible laser light to be emitted toward the target and receiving the visible laser light reflected from the target to be converted into a visible electrical signal, and a calculator calculating a first distance value from the visible electrical signal to obtain a number of repetitions of the NAR while measuring a distance to the target and using a second distance value calculated from the number of repetitions and the near-infrared electrical signal to obtain a distance to the target.
