A photogrammetric process for the three-dimensional monitoring of moving objects can utilize at least two cameras and a triangulation system for detecting the position and orientation of the object. The object is additionally illuminated, e.g. by a flash lamp or a triggered laser to eliminate the influence of ambient light.

[ We claim:] [1.] A photogrammetric process for three-dimensional monitoring of a moving object to determine position and location as a function of time, said process comprising the steps of:(a) training upon a certain location of a moving object, whose position and location are to be determined as a function of time, a plurality of cameras from respective image-receiving locations, activating said cameras at time-spaced intervals, and acquiring with said cameras at said image-receiving locations respective images of said location;(b) from said images and changes in said images of successive time-spaced intervals with multi-image triangulation signaling position and location of said moving object as a function of time; and(c) during at least some of said time-spaced intervals and synchronously with acquisition of said images at said at least some of said time-spaced intervals, additionally illuminating said object.
