System and Method of Determining a Position of a Remote Object

摘要

In one or more embodiments, one or more systems, methods and/or processes may determine a location of a remote object (e.g., a point and/or area of interest, landmark, structure that “looks interesting”, buoy, anchored boat, etc.). For example, the location of a remote object may be determined via a first bearing, at a first location, and a second bearing, at a second location, to the remote object. For instance, the first and second locations can be determined via a position device, such as a global positioning system device. In one or more embodiments, the location of the remote object may be based on the first location, the second location, the first bearing, and the second bearing. For example, the location of the remote object may be provided to a user via a map. For instance, turn-by-turn direction to the location of the remote object may be provided to the user.

主权项

1. A system, comprising:
a processor; and a memory device coupled to the processor, wherein the memory device stores instructions that are executed by the processor, wherein the system: determines a first position via an electronic position device that receives multiple location signals and computes the first position via the location signals, wherein the processor is configured to be coupled to the electronic position device; determines, at the first position, a first bearing to a remote object at a second position via an electronic bearing device that computes the first bearing wherein the processor is configured to be coupled to the electronic bearing device; determines a third position, different from the first position and different from the second position, via the electronic position device that receives the multiple location signals and computes the third position via the location signals; determines, at the third position, a second bearing, different from the first bearing, to the remote object at the second position via the electronic bearing device that computes the second bearing; computes a first rotation, by the first bearing, of a first vector associated with the first position; computes a second rotation, by the second bearing, of a second vector associated with the third position; and computes the second position based on the first rotation, by the first bearing, of the first vector and the second rotation, by the second bearing, of the second vector.
