Abstract
Disclosed is an approach for recalibrating a mobile base station (MBS) after it has moved to a non-survey location by determining a satellite-signal-accurate (SSA) location for the mobile base station based on GPS signals received by the mobile base station and further determining a near-survey-accurate (NSA) location for the mobile base station based on the determined SSA location for the mobile base station and applying an offset calculated by the navigational vehicle based on relatively fixed objects for which near-survey-accurate locations are known.
Claims20
A method for recalibrating a mobile base station communicatively coupled to an autonomous vehicle, the method comprising:
- determining a satellite-signal-accurate (SSA) location for the mobile base station based on GPS signals received by the mobile base station;
- and
- determining a near-survey-accurate (NSA) location for the mobile base station based on the determined SSA location for the mobile base station and applying an offset calculated by the navigational vehicle.
A system for recalibrating a mobile base station communicatively coupled to an autonomous vehicle, the system comprising at least one subsystem configured for:
- determining a satellite-signal-accurate (SSA) location for the mobile base station based on GPS signals received by the mobile base station;
- and
- determining a near-survey-accurate (NSA) location for the mobile base station based on the determined SSA location for the mobile base station and applying an offset calculated by the navigational vehicle.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising computer-executable instructions for recalibrating a mobile base station communicatively coupled to an autonomous vehicle, the computer-executable instructions comprising instructions for:
- determining a satellite-signal-accurate (SSA) location for the mobile base station based on GPS signals received by the mobile base station;
- and
- determining a near-survey-accurate (NSA) location for the mobile base station based on the determined SSA location for the mobile base station and applying an offset calculated by the navigational vehicle.
