Patent Abstract

The device (10) has a image recording device (20) which is connected with a image analyzing device (40) for recording position of the image pickup unit. The cavity (30) points the image along the optical axis of the imaging device. The displaced position of the image pickup unit is captured based on the presence of distinctive landmark relative to the optical axis. The distance between the image pickup unit, striking landmark and distinctive landmark is calculated based on the performed movement of the image recording device.
