As in close-range photogrammetry, space resection method is very frequently used in obtaining the exterior orientation
data of a single photograph by applying the collinearity equation, but it has relatively poor accuracy in determining the
line-of-sight component, especially in the condition the camera has a small field of view (FOV). This paper proposes a
new solution for relative pose estimation of a setup consisting of a single camera, a Laser Range Finder (LRF), three
optical targets and a array of cube-corner reflectors. These optical targets are installed properly on the target object as
control points; the reflectors array is also fixed on the target object to make sure that sufficient signal energy could be
returned to the Laser Range Finder. Rotations of the target object produce some errors in the measurements of LRF, so if
we want to get the precise data of the line-of-sight component, the two-dimensional position in the array plane must be
determined where the signal is returned from. In this paper we develop a method to solve the problem coupling with the
pose data obtained from photogrammetry. We derive a new collinearity equation form and improve the one photograph
space resection algorithm for the target object pose estimation relative to the camera or LRF. Simulation experiment
results show that the algorithm can converge to a precision data during about 3 times least-squares iteration; the accuracy
of position data achieve the level of sub-millimeter; and the RMS error of attitude data is less than 50 arcseconds.
