[0002] At present, with the advancement of technology, ordinary RTK based on the centering pole has gradually shown its shortcomings. For example, RTK can only measure the coordinates of points where the centering pole can be placed, and cannot be extended, which brings great inconvenience. For another example, RTK must be placed horizontally, otherwise it will affect the accuracy.

[0003] To solve this problem, Zhu Qiang and others from Guilin University of Technology invented the patent "Coordinate Conversion Method and Device for Laser GNSS-RTK Total Station" (patent number ZL202310010761.4), which obtains the three-dimensional coordinates of the phase center of the RTK antenna; converts the three-dimensional coordinates of the phase center of the RTK antenna into the three-dimensional coordinates of the laser emission point, and calculates the coordinate conversion parameters through the coordinate conversion equation, and replaces the rotation matrix with the Rodriguez matrix in the process of calculating the coordinate conversion parameters; according to the coordinate conversion parameters, calculates the angle between the laser beam and the plumb line and the coordinate azimuth of the laser beam; uses a laser rangefinder to obtain the distance from the point to be measured to the laser emission point, and combines the angle between the laser beam and the plumb line, the coordinate azimuth of the laser beam and the distance from the phase center of the RTK antenna to the laser emission point to obtain the three-dimensional coordinates of the point to be measured. However, the laser ranging used in this invention is time-of-flight ranging, which has low accuracy and cannot meet the surveying and mapping accuracy. Summary of the invention
