Summary: | In geodetic measuring systems and measuring devices (14) there exists a need to find and detect, rapidly and automatically, marker points to be measured that are provided with a marker (retro reflector) (2a). For the rapid detection, identification and determination of the horizontal angles of such a marker, even at greater distances, electromagnetic radiation in the form of a vertical fan (17) is transmitted by a transmitter unit (1) whose radiation is received, after reflection from the marker, by a receiving unit with a view field in the form of a vertical fan. By analyzing the signal strength and the apparent object size, a plausibility test and a reliable suppression of foreign or interference markers can be achieved. Such a marker searching device is marked by a selective analysis of specific characteristics of a marker detected. On the basis of the plausibility test, a rapid, certain and robust location of markers is possible. |
