Abstract
A method for measuring the position of a mobile structure in a set of reference axes, the structure comprising a plurality of intrinsic recurrent structural elements, comprising the following steps undertaken by a processor. Acquiring simultaneous images of the structure from a plurality of optical devices, each recurrent element being in a field of view of at least three separate optical devices. Extracting the recurrent elements from each image and determining their position in the image. Computing at least one indicator for each recurrent element detected in each image. Identifying each recurrent element by associating a unique identifier with each element, the identifier being related to the position of each optical device in the set of reference axes, and to at least one indicator associated with each element in each image. Determining the position, by implementing a photogrammetric algorithm, of each recurrent element in the set of reference axes.
