3-Dimensional Position Determination using Ultrasonics (Nixen)
 |
A 3-D position measurement system was developed using ultrasonics to provide
a measure of the position of the bucket-wheel dredger discharge boom
relative to the conveyor hopper:
 |
operates in dust and fog
|
 |
10m volume coverage
|
 |
0.1m precision over all environments
|
 |
uses GPS-like algorithms
