Method for optimizing and visualizing loft areas

Abstract

A computer-implemented method for optimizing a stakeout area for a workplace, in which a surveying instrument is deployed at a station, and in which an accuracy not exceeding a predefined accuracy threshold can be achieved during operation of the surveying instrument in the stakeout area, the method being executed by a computer system and comprising the following steps: - defining a plurality of groups having at least two control points from a set of control points, wherein these control points have known first coordinates in a first coordinate system of the workplace and known second coordinates in a second coordinate system of the surveying instrument; - calculating a pose vector and corresponding variances and covariances of the pose elements of the pose vector for the plurality of control point groups; - calculating a stakeout area for each of the plurality of control point groups based on the pose, the variances and covariances, the measurement accuracy of the surveying instrument, and the accuracy threshold; - calculating an evaluation parameter for each of the plurality of control point groups, wherein the evaluation parameter is at least one of the surface area of ​​a whole circle and the intersection area of ​​the whole circle with a predefined working area of ​​the workplace; Based on the evaluation parameters and predefined evaluation criteria, the stakeout areas of the multiple control point groups are compared, and the stakeout area of ​​the control point group that best meets the evaluation criteria is selected as the optimal stakeout area. The display is then instructed to visualize the graphical representation (LAY) of the optimal stakeout area.
