In the figure below, the significance of the world coordinate system is outlined as an example . The
provided 3D coordinates are always provided in the calibrated world coordinate system . This makes
it possible that the processing of the coordinate positions can take place regardless of the installation
position and angle of the device .

The image above shows two different mounting positions of the device on a mobile machine . In both
cases, the world coordinate system is defined identically (1) . For both mounting positions, the internal
measured value of the device differs by the mounting position (2) .
By correctly calibrating the device to the world coordinate system, the same X value is provided for the
object and both mounting positions (within the world coordinate system) .
