Abstract: Embodiments provide for a method of determining a geospatial position of a point of interest and a portable positioning device. In one embodiment, the method includes collecting data from a receiving unit and data from at least one of an imaging device and an IMU of the positioning device for each one of a plurality of positions of the positioning device. The collected data is then transmitted to a data fusing processor for determining orientations and positions of the positioning device for the plurality of positions in a global coordinate system. Further, the method includes obtaining a pointing input including a sighting direction towards the point of interest from the positioning device being positioned at at least one reference position. The pointing input is transmitted to the data fusing processor for identifying the point of interest and for determining the geospatial position of the point of interest in the global coordinate system.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for profit maximization and risk mitigation that uses nutrition modeling of animals, including poultry and marine animals, is a critical component of the respective enterprise optimization and managed environment pollution control. The optimization accuracy depends on the description of utilization efficiency of nutrients in a population of animals. Utilization efficiency of nutrients for meat production in a population is preferably based on at least three component parts of nutrient utilization, namely maintenance, linear gain, and non-linear gain, instead of one only. Efficiencies for maintenance and linear gain are fixed value(s), but nutrient efficiency is a result of intra-population variation and efficiency of linear gain, and affect profit. Similar processing is performed to obtain optimal crop growth and profit.
