Abstract
A method for guiding a moving object to a target. The method comprising: transmitting a signal from one or more illuminating sources defined in a reference coordinate system; receiving the signal at three or more cavity waveguides disposed on the moving object; using one or more forward observers to determine the position of the target; fixing the one or more illuminating sources to the one or more forward observers; determining a position and/or orientation of the object in the reference coordinate system based on a strength of the signal received in the three or more cavity waveguides; and guiding the moving object to the target based on the determined position and/or orientation.
Claims5
A method for guiding a moving object to a target, the method comprising:
- transmitting a signal from one or more illuminating sources defined in a reference coordinate system;
- receiving the signal at three or more cavity waveguides disposed on the moving object;
- using one or more forward observers to determine the position of the target;
- fixing the one or more illuminating sources to the one or more forward observers;
- determining a position and/or orientation of the object in the reference coordinate system based on a strength of the signal received in the three or more cavity waveguides;
- and
- guiding the moving object to the target based on the determined position and/or orientation.
