Abstract
A portable survey meter for measuring radiation, the portable survey meter comprising: a radiation detector configured to perform measurements of radiation; a range sensor configured to measure range data of distances from the portable survey meter to real world structures in at least two dimensions; and a processing unit configured to align the measured range data with reference range data so as to determine an instantaneous position of the portable survey meter in at least two dimensions relative to the real world structures as a fixed frame of reference, whereby each measurement is performed at a known position.
Claims25
A portable survey meter for measuring radiation, the portable survey meter comprising:
- a radiation detector configured to perform measurements of radiation;
- a range sensor configured to measure range data of distances from the portable survey meter to real world structures in at least two dimensions;
- and
- a processing unit configured to align the measured range data with reference range data so as to determine an instantaneous position of the portable survey meter in at least two dimensions relative to the real world structures as a fixed frame of reference, whereby each measurement is performed at a known position.
A method for measuring radiation, the method comprising:
- performing measurements of radiation using a portable survey meter;
- measuring range data of distances from the portable survey meter to real world structures in at least two dimensions;
- and
- aligning the measured range data with reference range data so as to determine the instantaneous position of the portable survey meter in at least two dimensions relative to the real world structures as a fixed frame of reference, whereby each measurement is performed at a known position.
