    Abstract

    A method for determining the position of an object includes:
    using a projector to project a marker pattern to a projection zone such that a first marker feature of the marker pattern is projected on a first surface portion,
    using a camera to capture an image of a viewing zone which at least partly overlaps the projection zone, and
    determining the position of said first surface portion by analyzing the captured image,
    wherein the viewing zone surrounds the camera, and the image of the viewing zone is captured by forming an annular image of the viewing zone on an image sensor.
