How to Use Plastic Sextants: With Applications to Metal Sextants and a Review of Sextant Piloting
ISBN: 9780914025245 / Angielski / Miękka / 106 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Sextants are used to measure angular heights of celestial bodies above the horizon to find the latitude and longitude of the observer. They can also be used on land with artificial horizons. Sextants can also be used to find the correct Universal Time by measuring the angular distance between the moon and another body along its path across the zodiac. In coastal waters or on land, sextants can be used for very accurate piloting by measuring the horizontal angles between charted landmarks. The vertical angle of a peak above its baseline determines the distance to it, which, combined with a...

Motion Vision: Design of Compact Motion Sensing Solutions for Navigation of Autonomous Systems
ISBN: 9780863414534 / Angielski / Twarda / 456 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

The book begins by looking at the problem of motion estimation from biological, algorithmic and digital perspectives. It goes on to describe an algorithm that fits with the motion processing model, and hardware and software constraints. This...
