DCP Manual

N

NED (North-East-Down)
A geographic reference system

O

OEM
acronym for Original Equipment Manufacturer

Offset
A non-zero output signal of a sensor when no load is applied to it, typically due to sensor imperfections.
Also called bias.

Orientation
The orientaion of an object in space with reference to a defined frame. Also called attitude.

P

Pitch
In navigation pitch is what occurs when vertical force is applied at a distance forward or aft from the cen-
ter of gravity of the platform, causing it to move up or down with respect to the sensor or platform frame
origin.

Position
The spatial location of an object

PVA
acronym for Position, Velocity, Attitude

Q

Quaternion
Mathematical notation for representing orientation and rotation of objects in three dimensions with
respect to the fixed earth coordinate quaternion. Quaternions convert the axis–angle representation of
the object into four numbers and to apply the corresponding rotation to a position vector representing a
point relative to the origin.

R

Resolution
In digital systems, the resolution is the number of bits or values available to represent analog voltages
or information. For example, a 12-bit system has 4096 bits of resolution and a 16-bit system has 65536
bits.
