Hi Everyone,
Before I go to efforts to create such a system, I would like to know if anyone has come across such a system.
The requirements are to measure the position of a small mobile vehicle within a 50m by 50m area. Larger and smaller areas are also on the cards.
Precision to be 20 to 30mm (about 1 inch), measuring a 2 dimentional position. If it can measure depth, that would be a bonus. Base stations can be setup near by at fixed, known positions. There is no restriction on technology, including laser, radar, radio waves or sonic, as long as it does not harm anyone walking around it.
I have been keeping an eye out for something like this, although GPS seems to have flooded out the market.
Thanks,
Doug
