Sensor Installation Monitoring

摘要

Technology for surveying sensor locations on a physical platform is described. An estimated baseline vector can be calculated between a temporary navigation sensor and each fixed navigation sensor in a group of fixed navigation sensors. The temporary navigation sensor can be temporarily placed on the physical platform. The fixed navigation sensors can be installed on the physical platform. A refined baseline vector between the temporary navigation sensor and each fixed navigation sensor can be successively calculated by fixing carrier phase integer ambiguities that are variables used in the estimation of the baseline vector. A final survey distance between the temporary navigation sensor and each of the fixed navigation sensors can be generated using the refined baseline vector.
