SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR POSITIONING OF A LASER PROJECTION SYSTEM

A survey tool for determining position and orientation (P&O) thereof relative to a construction site is provided herein. The survey tool may include: a moveable platform wherein the moveable platform is configured to rotate at least one two-axis electro-optic deflection unit mounted on the moveable platform; at least one light source coupled to the two-axis electro-optic deflection unit configured to project a light beam, wherein steering of the light beam is carried out by operating at least one of: the two-axis electro-optic deflection unit, and the moveable platform, and wherein the light beam forms a projection onto surfaces within the construction site; at least one sensor configured to record at least one of: a steering angle and, a distance between the survey tool and said point; and at least one computer processor configured to determine the P&O of the survey tool relative to the construction site.
