ALIGNMENT MECHANISM, ALIGNMENT METHOD AND COMRADE RECOGNIZING METHOD

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To simultaneously recognize comrades from targets existing in a field of view of an alignment scope. SOLUTION: When an inquiry transmitting portion 103 of an alignment-side device 100 transmits an inquiry signal 301 to the whole area of the field of view of the alignment scope 102, response signals 302 as optical signals of specific wavelength are returned from alignment-side devices owned by the comrades in the field of view. In the alignment-side device 100, a camera 104 for reception has a filter 109 transmitting only the light of the wavelength same as the response signal 302, and picks up an image formed by the light transmitting through the filter 109. An image superposing portion 106 superposes the image picked up by the camera 104 for reception to the image formed by the incident light from an incoming radiation portion 107 of the alignment scope 102. The alignment portion 108 of the alignment scope 102 displays the image. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
