PROCESS FOR THE LOCATION OF AN OBJECT AND THE DETERMINATION OF ITS ORIENTATION IN SPACE AND APPARATUS FOR PERFORMING THE SAME

摘要

Process for locating an object and determining its orientation in space and apparatus for performing this process. The object to be located is provided with one or more magnetic dipoles. With the aid of measuring systems, each constituted by directional magnetometers, the magnetic field is measured and from it is deduced the position of the origin of the vector integral with the object and the orientation of said vector. Application to the production of contour or notation acquisition means and to the characterization of the movements of mock-ups of elements constituting seawalls. B 8785.3 RS
