  • Publication number: 20140327580
    Abstract: A method comprises measuring angular coordinates of an object (12) relative to a directional transceiver (10), the directional transceiver being at a first location relative to a reference coordinate system and having an orientation relative to the reference coordinate system, the object (12) being at a second, known location, the angular coordinates (?A, ?A) being measured relative to an axis of a local coordinate system, the orientation of the local coordinate system being defined by the orientation of the directional transceiver (10) and the origin of the local coordinate system being at the first location, wherein at least one of the first location and the orientation of the directional transceiver are unknown, and calculating the unknown at least one of the first location and the orientation of the directional transceiver using the angular coordinates (?A, ?A).

  • Publication number: 20120232838
    Abstract: It is inter alia disclosed to use, in a positioning process, positioning process information that is at least one of information on a detected magnetic signal, information determined based on said detected magnetic signal and information determined based on data measured to detect said detected magnetic signal. The magnetic signal stems from a magnetic signal source installed in an environment. The positioning process is for positioning the device in said environment.
