Mathematical Model for Errors Estimation of Difference of Objects’s Elevation Determination Using Flying Platform

Summary/Abstract: In this paper the method for determination of the object’s elevation on the ground as well as the mathematical model for error estimation of object’s determination are suggested. It is assumed that the object is situated beyond line-of-sight or, whatsoever, beyond the horizon.It has been obtained the analytic expression for error estimation of the object’s elevation determination using flying platform in case of the known inaccuracy of goniometry and distance measures. The effect of inaccuracy of goniometry and distance measurements on the error estimation of the object’s elevation determination is traced. Analytic expressions of evaluating requirements for accuracy of goniometer and distance measurer are deduced. These requirements will ensure the specified accuracy of the object’s elevation determination.A relationship between object’s elevation determination and its location with respect to the observing station and flying platform is investigated.
