Il existe deux méthodes de triangulation. La première repose sur l'observation d'un point ou d'une scène depuis différents points de vue : c'est la triangulation passive [...] La seconde utilise un signal connu et maîtrisé (généralement une source lumineuse) qui est projeté sur la scène à mesurer : on parle dans ce cas de triangulation active.
