Abstract

Recently, it has been discovered that RF waveguides can be used as onboard wireless sensors for the direct measurements of angular positions of a moving object and that a combination of RF waveguides may be used to measure full spatial angular orientation of the object. This paper deals with the computational issues that arise in resolving the spatial orientation from the measurement data of a set of RF waveguide sensors. The paper presents an algorithm that combines a heuristic search method with the least-squares approach for computing the full orientation of an object. The goal is to develop a general and efficient method for computing spatial orientation from the sensor data of a class of angular position sensors that have smooth sensor profiles. profiles.
