Orientation with polarimetry and gravity vectors
Kyle, Stephen
Orientation with polarimetry and gravity vectors - 1990 - Land & Minerals Surveying 8(3) March 1990, 122-129(8) .
Presents methods and proposes instrumentation which may have applications in large scale metrology and engineering measurement. Building on concepts introduced by non-levelled theodolites, polarimetry is evaluated as a means of orientation transfer. The non-levelled approach also suggests alternative ways of including gravity information. The ideas are viewed in the context of orientation transfer in confined situations such as mines, and of robot attitude control.
