Abstract
A system and method for aligning projection of an optical indicia on a surface of a large object is disclosed. A reference is disposed in proximity to the object. The reference includes a plurality of markers spaced at intermittent locations. A projection system projects optical indicia onto the surface of the object. A detection system detects the markers disposed upon the reference and signals an image of the markers to a processor for the processor to register a location of the projection system relative to the reference. The reference is aligned with a feature disposed upon the object enabling registration of the markers to the object. A location of the projection system relative to the object is established enabling the projection system to project the optical indicia onto the object to a predetermined location.
