Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the greatest challenges associated with the Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) is reliability, accuracy, and the high precision navigation system for its submerged operations. Data collected for later analysis can be meaningful if and only if, the precise location of the vehicle is known at the time the information is recorded. A reliable AUV must be able to determine its global position in the absence of external transmitting devices. Dead reckoning is unreliable because of current conditions and random errors in the the velocity measurement that can be integrated and propagated in position calculations for long distance submerged travel. The alternative is the optimal integration of all available organic vehicle sensors to determine vehicle position. This requires the Kalman filtering method which merges all available vehicle sensors to estimate position. The AUV ARIES was operated in the Azores from August 10-12, 2001. All information were recorded and transferred into several files for all the mission runs during the exercise. This thesis investigated the accuracy of the Kalman filter navigation system during those runs. The thesis also examines the actual vehicle tracks during the experiment with both the design tracks and the model prediction tracks built using a simulation of the vehicle track following behavior.

Download or read book Geostatistical Applications for Precision Agriculture written by Margaret A. Oliver and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-07-27 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this book is to bring together a series of contributions from experts in the field to cover the major aspects of the application of geostatistics in precision agriculture. The focus will not be on theory, although there is a need for some theory to set the methods in their appropriate context. The subject areas identified and the authors selected have applied the methods in a precision agriculture framework. The papers will reflect the wide range of methods available and how they can be applied practically in the context of precision agriculture. This book is likely to have more impact as it becomes increasingly possible to obtain data cheaply and more farmers use onboard digital maps of soil and crops to manage their land. It might also stimulate more software development for geostatistics in PA.

Download or read book The Precision Revolution written by Michael Russell Rip and published by US Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever since so-called smart bombs debuted in the Vietnam War, precision weapons have been an expected part of modern warfare. While most Americans are aware of the use of these technological wonders, frequently viewing images of pinpoint accuracy on their television screens, few understand how the weapons work. In this very readable explanation, Michael Rip and James Hasik not only clarify the complex technology but chronicle the use of these modern marvels and elaborate on the promises and the pitfalls behind them. At the root of today's precision weapons is the Global Positioning System (GPS) -- the same system used by professional marine and aerial navigators and even by modern hikers, drivers of upscale automobiles, and sailboat owners. The authors remove much of the mystery of this satellite-based system, explaining how it has revolutionized the art and science of navigation and overturned many of the solutions to the age-old problems of targeting. Relevant examples taken from today's headlines demonstrate both the capabilities and the limitations of these weapons. Their use in Bosnia, Kosovo, and the stand-off engagements in the no-fly zones of Iraq make a great deal more sense with this book in hand. Many of the emerging debates spawned by a mandated review of U.S. defense policy are clarified. From the details of the weapons systems and their employment to their political implications, this sweeping analysis of the effects of a revolutionary technology on military operations and strategy is without parallel. A wealth of illustrations help the reader understand how technologies work and fit together, how they are practically used, and what they mean for the future.
