Abstract

A method for determining the alignment of a system, wherein the system includes measuring and display devices. The measuring device has a measuring platform and detects horizontal and vertical forces that are exerted by a person located on the measuring platform. The system also includes at least one camera device used to at least partially photograph the person located on the measuring platform. The method includes transmitting image data from the at least one camera device and measurement data from the measuring device to the display device, superimposing a force application line in the display device on the image data, and displaying the force application line on the image of the person located on the measuring platform. The method also includes detecting marker points with a fixed geometric relation to the measuring platform by the at least one camera device, wherein the geometric relationship of the marker points to one another is known, and determining the position and/or orientation of the measuring platform to the at least one camera device via an image evaluation of the detected marker points.
