Abstract: | Formulas are derived for the lengths and direction cosines of the semiaxes of error ellipsoids in three-dimensional multilateration, in terms of the rms errors and direction cosines of the distance measurements, for the case in which random measurement errors are normally distributed and systematic errors are negligible. Two-dimensional error ellipses also are discussed. |
