Abstract

In Chap. 12, ranging method for positioning was presented where distances were measured to known targets. In this chapter, an alternative positioning technique which uses direction measurements as opposed to distances is presented. This positioning approach is known as the resection. Unlike in ranging where measured distances are affected by atmospheric refraction, resection methods have the advantage that the measurements are angles or directions which are not affected by refraction.
