Patent Abstract

The method involves determining projection matrixes of different groups on one of positions of coordinate systems by a computer. The matrices are determined for positioning of a mounting arrangement by the computer, and a definite projection matrix is determined based on the provided projection matrices and the positions of the coordinate systems for each positioning of the mounting arrangement. The definite projection matrix is obtained on a uniform coordinate system. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a computer program comprising a set of instructions to allow a computer to perform a method for determining projection matrices (2) a data medium storing a computer program to perform a method for determining projection matrices (3) a computer with a mass storage storing a computer program for performing a method for determining projection matrices.
