I have 3 light sources on the ceiling that form an equilateral triangle.
I'm on the floor looking at them with some kind of high res device so I have
rather accurate x-y (angles) coordonates for these 3 points (0.01� rms). From
this, I want to precisely compute my position and the orientation.
Does anybody knows where I can find some usable formula for this. Before I
spend the night doing the maths ;-)
Thanks

With an equilateral triangle, wouldnt you have three
possible solutions for your position due to the rotational
symmetry of the triangle?

The light sources are modulated so I know which one is the 1, 2 and 3.
Otherwise you are right, there would be 3 solutions.
