1. A method for measuring the location of objects arranged on a surface in space, comprising: a plurality of cameras arranged in a stationary array about the objects, each capable of forming an image of the scene containing the objects; a means for marking the locations of the objects in the images, using a two-dimensional coordinate system; a method for fitting a parameterized mathematical surface in three-dimensional space, congruent with the surface containing the observed object coordinates; a method to establish the correct object mappings; that is, which sets of coordinate pairs represent the same object as viewed in various cameras; and a method to triangulate the exact three-dimensional coordinates of the objects.
