A technique for more smoothly moving a reflective prism to a target position is provided. A surveying instrumentincludes a leg part, a basesupported by the leg part, a movable partheld by the baseand being movable straight in any direction within a two-dimensional plane relative to the base, a reflective prismmounted on the movable part, and a laser pointerthat is mounted to the movable partand that emits a guiding light in a vertical direction.

A position guiding device includes a mobile terminal having an imaging part and display, a position information acquiring part for acquiring current coordinate information and target coordinate information, a direction sensor for acquiring direction information, and a controller to generate a target image. The mobile terminal is attached to a pole so as to position a pole tip within an angle of view. The controller acquires, from the position information acquiring part, current coordinate information representing a position at where the pole tip points, defines a horizontal surface including the pole tip as a measurement surface, generates corrected coordinate information by shifting the target coordinate information to a position on the measurement surface, generates the target image in which a target position marker is put at a position representing the corrected coordinate information in the image obtained by the imaging part.

Position guiding device, position guiding method, and position guiding program

The present invention provides a surveying system, which comprises a surveying devicehaving a function for tracking a targetand a remote control devicefor remotely controlling the surveying device on a target side, wherein the surveying device comprises measuring unitsand, image pickup unitsand, a first radio unit, and a first control arithmetic unit, and the remote control device comprises a second radio unit, a second control arithmetic unit, a second display unit, and a second operation input unit, wherein the surveying device transmits an image data acquired at the image pickup unit to the remote control device via the radio unit, and the remote control device receives the image data via the second radio unit and the second display unit displays the image in inversion display based on the image data.

Surveying system

The present invention provides a surveying system, which comprises a surveying deviceprovided with a function for tracking a target, and a remote control devicefor remotely controlling the surveying device on a target side, said surveying device comprises a measuring unit, an image pickup unit, a first radio unit, and a first control arithmetic unit, said remote control device comprises a second radio unit, a second control arithmetic unit, a second display unitand a second operation input unit, said first control arithmetic unit transmits measurement data of the measuring unit to the remote control device via the first radio unit when a detection result is within the tracking range based on the detection result of a reflection light from the target, and transmits an image data taken by the image pickup unit via the first radio unit when the detection result is out of the tracking range, said second control arithmetic unit receives the measurement data and the image data via the second radio unit, and the measurement data or the image data are displayed on the second display unit.

There are provided a telescope unit () having a first image pickup unit for acquiring a wide-angle image and a second image pickup unit for acquiring a telescopic image with higher magnification than the wide-angle image, a distance measuring unit for performing distance measurement by projecting a distance measuring light and by receiving a light reflected from an object to be measured, an angle measuring unit for detecting a horizontal angle and a vertical angle of the telescope unit, a drive unit for rotating and driving the telescope unit in a horizontal direction and in a vertical direction, and a control device for controlling image pickup of the first image pickup unit and the second image pickup unit and for controlling the drive unit based on the results of detection from the angle measuring unit, wherein the control device synthesizes a panoramic image by connecting the wide-angle image obtained by the first image pickup unit, sets up a scheduled measuring point by edge processing of the wide-angle image, and extracts the measuring point corresponding to the scheduled measuring points in the telescopic image by scanning the scheduled measuring point and acquiring the telescopic image by the second image pickup unit with respect to scheduled measuring points, and distance measurement is performed on the measuring point.
