| Zusammenfassung |
| During sampling or tracking missions in the field, the scientific community is regularly
confronted to the need of orienting (3D) and/or positioning (2D) precisely the object of his
studies relatively to the geographic North and the horizontal plane. The instrument we present
is dedicated to this task. It is light, simple to use, fast and accurate. It includes a three-axis
magnetometer, a three-axis inclinometer, one rotation sensor and a wireless camera. This
orienting tool is connected through a wireless link to a computer equipped with a GPS. The
received data (geographical North azimuth and inclination) are used in a GIS-like
software (Geographical Information System). The user performs the measurement in
a few seconds, and identifies the sample on the map. He can add comments and
pictures about the sample on geo-referenced documents. Every researcher who needs
to know precisely the orientation of an object in the field may adapt this system
for his particular requirements (Paleomagnetism, Archeology, tectonics, etc...). |
