A method and system allows conversion of three-dimensional data from a default coordinate frame to an arbitrary user-selected coordinate frame. The method includes obtaining position data in a default coordinate frame and transforming the data into an alternate coordinate frame defined by the user. The alternate coordinate frame can be defined by allowing the user to select a plane, an origin, and an axis, using any desired coordinate system and in any desired orientation. The transformed data allows presentation of position measurements in a form that is relevant to the users specific application.

An improved low cost theodolite position measurement system and process which is particularly useful in enabling a single operator to conveniently set up the system and calculate elevation (el) and azimuth (az) angle data. Only a single optical transmitter is positioned within a predetermined workspace thus significantly decreasing equipment costs and setup time. The single transmitter is positioned and leveled at a predetermined point in the workspace. In operation the single rotatably mounted transmitter head illuminates the workspace volume with a pair of spaced apart precalibrated fan beams which sweep the space and a periodically emitted reference strobe pulse. At least one optical receiver is selectively positionable within said workspace so that during each revolution of said single transmitter head said receiver receives a first position strike and a second position strike of said fan beams. To determine elevation angle data, tracker logic means responsive to said receiver determines a first tie interval separation between receiving said first position strike and said second position strike and calculation means for converting said first time separation interval into an elevation angle data. To determine an azimuth angle data said receiver receives a strobe pulse and a fan beam position strike, both of which are repeatedly transmitted with a known periodicity, determining a measure of time separation related to the strobe pulse and the position strike, and converting the measure of time separation into the azimuth angle data utilizing the known periodicity.

In some embodiments, a method includes accessing a provider interface. The provider interface is associated with a provider having at least one asset for purchase. The asset can be, for example, a plant-related product, a livestock-related product and/or the like. Data associated with the asset and/or the provider is input into the provider interface, which is then configured to display a unique code generated based on the data input. The asset is associated with the unique code, for example, by providing the consumer with the unique code at the time of purchase. In response to a consumer request, information associated with the asset is provided. More specifically, the information associated with the asset is retrieved from a database accessible via the provider interface.
