Abstract
An arrangement for optically tracking moving objects and for measuring trajectories of the moving objects using triangulation. The arrangement includes a pair of measuring locations including a first measuring location and a second measuring location disposed at a distance with respect to the first measuring location. The arrangement further includes a plurality of pairs of theodolites for simultaneously tracking and measuring the trajectories of the moving objects, each pair of theodolites being effective for tracking and measuring a trajectory of a corresponding moving object and further having a first theodolite and a second theodolite. First theodolites of each pair of theodolites together form a first set of theodolites disposed on a common azimuthal axis at the first measuring location; and second theodolites of each pair of theodolites together form a second set of theodolites disposed on a common azimuthal axis at the second measuring location.
