Calibration of a marine gyrocompass is crucial to ensure accurate heading data. Over time, the gyrocompass may drift or accumulate errors, affecting its performance. Proper calibration aligns the compass to true north, ensuring that the vessel’s navigation system can provide precise heading information. This process involves adjustments to correct the errors caused by environmental factors […]
Lidar (Light Detection and Ranging) is often compared to radar due to its use of electromagnetic waves to detect objects. However, lidar uses light waves (laser pulses) rather than radio waves. Lidar is frequently used for creating high-resolution, 3D maps of landscapes, forests, and other environments. It is particularly effective for mapping terrain, detecting vegetation, […]
