WebFor a conical scanner, the major and minor axis of the elliptical footprint stays consistent across the scan, but the cross-track scanner will have the cross-track axis (vs. the along or down track axis) increase as the scan angle increases. Therefore, the cross track has very unequal spatial resolution across the scan. WebSep 5, 2016 · The idea is to find the along-cross distance defined as: along-track distance: distance between the start point and the closest point on the path to the third point. In simple words is the length of the great circle between the starting point (blue dot in my drwaing) and the generic projection along it (red dot in my drawing). ...
Seeing With Sound: Why Sonar Resolution Matters For Seabed Mapping
WebIf for any reason you stray off track, your XTE is measured against the current leg of your route and is easy to understand. Let’s expand our example to show that we are navigating along a route called 01, on the leg between waypoints 095 and 096. You are steering manually, and you’ve strayed off course to port. Your XTE is 0.25nm (see fig 3). WebSimilarly, across-track resolution is defined as the minimum distance in which two parallel targets on the seafloor lying perpendicular to the survey line can be detected as two separate objects. Across-track resolution is a function of beam width, signal frequency and pulse length, while along-track resolution depends on ping rate and survey ... shareview registrar

WebSep 21, 2024 · The exploration of planetary surfaces lies on images and topographic data, typically derived by laser altimetry from planetary missions. This paper deals with an examination of the topography data from the Mars orbiter laser altimeter (MOLA).
