PORT FWD Vessel Survey • Phase 3 – Align the Coordinate System
Vessel Survey • Lessons learned • Sticker placement must be horizontal • Adjust prism constant for stickers • Level vessel • Have IMU bolted to vessel (not glued) • Use digital level • Consider using both IR and red laser • Do not use GPS for positioning bolts (AB-PE3) • Consider adding more bolts (AB-PE4?)
Patch Test Target • Spare parts • Air-filled PVC • Quick & Easy • A lack of local targets
Patch Test Problem Central Beam Nadir Where do you place the Target?
Patch Test • Aim is to isolate and quantify misalignment errors • Placing the Target at Nadir on our mount is the equivalent of placing the Target in the outer swath of a traditional mount (Center Beam = Nadir) • Cross contamination of errors occur
