    摘要: A method and apparatus for use with a satellite positioning system wherein the receive elements satellite positioning system receive antennas are maintained in an orientation with respect to the positioning system satellites in a way such that the strongest signals can be received from the greatest number of satellites. According to one embodiment, a housing of a positioning antenna is mounted in a gimbaled fashion onto a vehicle, such as an excavator. Such a gimbaled antenna maintains a horizontal orientation relative to a predetermined axis and, as a result, remains in a position to receive signals from positioning system satellites even during instances of high angular deflection of the antenna support, such as may occur during earth-moving operations.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method for controlling a surface-modifying machine, wherein information on the desired condition and on the actual condition of ground to be prepared is provided and is used to derive control statements for the machine based on a comparison of the desired and the actual condition. The information on the actual condition is represented by a point cloud as a spatial distribution of discrete surface points. In order to derive control statements, at least two surface points each from the point cloud are used for every horizontal position so that non-differentiated information can be derived that for example also allow to identify various planes.

    摘要: A device and method for determining the position for a working part of a machine with a position-determining apparatus is disclosed. A detector is placed at a defined place on the machine to determine the position in a fixed coordinate system. A positional relationship device determines the positional relationship of the working part in relation to the detector in a machine-based coordinate system. A calculating device calculates, with signals from the position-determining apparatus and the positional relationship device, the position of the working part in the fixed coordinate system. The position-determining apparatus comprises an inclination- and orientation-measuring device that measures the instantaneous position and orientation of the position of the machine in the fixed coordinate system. The calculating device converts the measuring result from the position-determining apparatus and the positional relationship device to give the instantaneous position and orientation of the working part in the fixed coordinate system.
