Abstract

A method aims to identify a virtual raster pattern in an image of a surface that is provided with a plurality of position-coding marks. Each mark is associated with a respective intersection of raster lines belonging to the raster pattern. By means of the method, the virtual raster pattern is identified via Fourier analysis of the image. A computer program product and a device for position determination are also described.
