Calibration of Kelvin clamp Euler angles for absolute instrument orientation
نویسندگان
چکیده
A method is described for calibrating the Euler angles of a kinematic Kelvin clamp in order to absolutely calibrate the orientation of an instrument. This paper covers a method for calibrating all three Euler angles, with an emphasis on the rotation about the vertical axis. This method uses a fixture employing a theodolite with an autocollimating eyepiece and an autocollimating prism.

Detection of calibration drifts in spaceborne microwave radiometers using a vicarious cold reference
The coldest possible brightness temperatures observed by a downward-looking microwave radiometer from space are often produced by calm oceans under cloud-free skies and very low humidity. This set of conditions tends to occur with sufficient regularity that an orbiting radiometer will accumulate a useful number of observations within a period of a few days to weeks. Histograms of the radiometer...
متن کاملAn Efficient Method for Assessing the Accuracy of 3D Orientation of Inertial and Magnetic Sensors*
This paper presents an efficient method for assessing the accuracy of 3D orientation of a magnetic and inertial measurement unit (MIMU) by means of an optical measurement system. We fix a MIMU on the calibration tool of an optical measurement system, which is commonly used to calibrate the coordinate system of the system, so that we can simplify the alignment procedure of two coordinate systems...
متن کاملCOORDINATE INFLUENCE ON SINGULARITY OF A 3-UPS PARALLEL MANIPULATOR
This paper shows the coordinates influence on singularity of a three degree-of-freedom structure, namely, three-Universal-Prismatic-Spherical (3-UPS) parallel manipulator. Rotational coordinates, which are chosen to define the orientation of the platform, affect the singularity of the manipulator. Euler parameters, which don't have any inherent geometrical singularity are utilized, however they...

In this paper the unit quaternion is used as a substitute for describing the attitude of a camera to overcome the shortcomings of Euler angles on the description and interpolation of orientation, corresponding collinearity equation is then derived and linearized. At the same time the Spherical linear Interpolation (Slerp) of unit quaternion is introduced into the bundle adjustment of three-line...
متن کاملThe Impact of Angle Parameterisation on Terrestrial Laser Scanner Self-calibration
The angular fields of view in which a terrestrial laser scanner captures data differ according to instrument construction. Both the socalled panoramic and hybrid instruments scan through a full horizontal field of view but their vertical fields of view can differ considerably in terms of range and mode of data acquisition. The differences in operational mode govern the allowable range for each ...
