Map position finding accuracy in a computer simulated environment
Map position finding is a fundamental skill taught in many map use and interpretation geography courses. Map position finding is also the basic skill required for successful orienteering. At Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University orienteering exercises aid in building students map …

Map position-finding performance in a photographically simulated environment
… issues. First, it tested whether accurate map position-finding could be performed in a photographically simulated environment. Test subjects were asked to locate map position sites represented by color 35mm slides encompassing a 360-degree panoramic view for the corresponding ground location. …

Kinematic Analysis of Tensegrity Structures
… length. This paper will present a new method of position finding for tensegrity structures that can be used for actuation as VGT mechanisms. Tensegrity structures are difficult to understand and mathematically model. This difficulty is primarily because tensegrity structures only exist in …

A personal inertial-navigation system based on multiple distributed, nine-degrees-of-freedom, inertial measurement units
… is investigated in this thesis. IMUs lack a position-finding algorithm that optimally blends sensor data to achieve high accuracy in a GPS-denied environment. In this research, software and a methodology for tracking position using body-mounted IMUs, building on a gait-phase detection …
