Abstract :
In this paper, we present the bodywork of an optical positioning system using active position receivers. The system uses free-space optical communication to its components, which perform cooperative self-localization. The system is multi target capable and can be used in- and outdoors. We describe the individual components of the system as well as the related performance we achieve.
