A trigonometric method of determining the position of a fixed point from the angles to it from two fixed points a known distance apart

Usage examples of triangulation.

Triangulation and quadrature of the beacons works for navigationonly it follows its own rules.

Cuspids really were the result of some geo-physical event, it would be natural to expect to see them distributed at random: as a result the triangulation would be scalene or irregular, whereas those concerning the lunar objects lead to a basilary system, with co-ordinates x,y,x, to the right angle, six isosceles triangles and two axes consisting of three points each.

In the beginning of 1902 and during the period of making studies, additional borings, and preliminary triangulations, and prior to making the contract plans and specifications, James Forgie, M.

Unless the Bureau had set up a very elaborate radio triangulation net, the closest they should be able to get was that he was operating off a Blacksburg or Christiansburg cellphone tower.

Twenty-odd years of endless Lunar data, done by atomic (cesium) clock, electrically-automatically timed occultations of stars, backed by both triangulation and radar ranging, counterchecked by similar work done on the inner planets by other astronomers at other observatories—Certainly he could be wrong .

The triangulation crosshatches appeared on the viewscreen and closed down on a point near the planetary equator, and just passing into the night meridian.

They are targeted by triangulation from fixed points, since the outpost itself remains perfectly absorbant throughout the electrooptical band.

They are targeted by triangulation from fixed points, since the outpost itself remains perfectly absorbant throughout the electro-optical band.

The printouts merely gave bearing to a suspected noise source, but there were several of the bottom-sited SOSUS arrays, and triangulation had already been accomplished, nailing the datum points down to radii of ten to fifteen nautical miles.

However I believe the fluctuations indicate there is a malfunction in the triangulation of the navigational system.

The robots operating the system were pulling in the signals, analyzing message traffic density patterns, getting triangulations to find signal sources.

Casey kept a log of his observations, with position, time, signal strength and bearings, and his rough triangulations continued to predict a source inside Babylon.

While Doc had been speaking from the Fortress of Solitude, radio triangulations had been taken from two widespread points with radio direction finders.

Sensor triangulations indicated that there was a strong possibility she was near.

The display showed the target command bunker at the bottom of the gorge, known enemy weapons emplacements as computed from backplots of radar-tracked shell trajectories, and the locations of observation and fire command posts from source analysis triangulations of stray reflections from control lasers.
