Triangulation

Was ist es?
Triangulation is a method used to determine the position of an object or point in space using measurements of distance or angles from two or more known reference points. There are several triangulation techniques, the most used is the method of triangulation from angular measurements which consists in determining the position of an object by using measurements of angles formed by lines connecting the object to two or more known reference points. In navigation, triangulation is used to determine the position of a ship or aircraft using distance measurements from coastal lighthouses or satellites. In topography, it is used to determine the altitudes and coordinates of points on the earth's surface. In cartography, it is used to create accurate maps of the earth's surface. In telecommunications, it is used to determine the position of a mobile phone or communication equipment using distance measurements from transmission towers. In geodesy, it is used to determine the precise coordinates of points on the earth's surface. In robotics, it is used to determine the position of a robot relative to its reference points.
