More Information
Summary:System for generating maps from magnetic field utility line estimates include one or more vehicle-mounted magnetic field sensing locators, one or more antenna nodes to sense magnetic fields emitted from buried utilities, a receiver circuit to process the antenna signals, a position and orientation element to determine the position and orientation of the magnetic field sensing locating device in a world coordinate system, a processing unit to generate at one or more discrete points an estimation of one or more utility positions and orientations, and a map generation element to generate an associated map.
