"textContent": "The present inventive concept relates to a method for operating a geodetic instrument comprising an optical source for assisting a user in aiming at a target in a scene and an imaging device, wherein the imaging device and the optical source share a common optical channel within the geodetic instrument, said method comprising: causing emission, by the optical source, of optical pulses towards the target; causing capture, by the imaging device, of images of the scene using a frame sequence, wherein a frame of said frame sequence includes an exposure time during which the imaging device is exposed to light from the scene; synchronizing emission of the optical pulses to the frame sequence for obtaining data from images in which the optical pulses are absent; and processing the obtained data for surveying said scene.",
