Abstract

Techniques are described for documenting the positions of items in a room, such as in rooms that are configured for testing automated systems that perform position-related functions. A non-contact measuring tool may be placed at different reference positions within the room. At each position, measurements are made to the room corners and to items of interest within the room. Based on this information, coordinates of the reference positions are calculated. Coordinates of the items are calculated based on the determined coordinates of the reference positions.
